Painted
1830
Collection
Art Institute of Chicago
Medium
Color woodblock print; shikishiban, surimono

A tiger on a square shikishi sheet by Kunisada, 1830. Japan had no tigers, so artists worked from cats and Chinese paintings, which is why the face looks feline. The direction of the stripes shows which way each piece goes.
