The Tiger of Ryokoku
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating polychrome woodblock print created by Utagawa Hirokage in the 8th month of 1860 during the Edo period. This exquisite artwork, part of the series True Scenes, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing nature and wildlife. In this vibrant print, we see a majestic tiger with its piercing gaze and powerful presence. The intricate details of its fur, rendered using ink and color on paper, bring the animal to life. Its sharp teeth and claws are depicted with precision, showcasing both its beauty and ferocity. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, this scene transports us to the countryside of Japan. The bird perched on a branch adds an element of tranquility amidst the raw energy emanating from the tiger. It symbolizes harmony between predator and prey in nature. As we admire this heritage art piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of Japan's rich artistic tradition known as ukiyo-e. Hirokage's skillful printing technique further enhances our appreciation for his craftsmanship. "The Tiger of Ryokoku" serves as a testament to Utagawa Hirokage's talent as an artist and his ability to capture fleeting moments in time through woodblock prints. It invites us into a world where animals reign supreme and reminds us why these masterpieces continue to captivate audiences even centuries later.
