EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Changing Times Bring Unseen Things - True Picture of a Tiger" 2. Description: This Japanese print, created in 1860, showcases a tiger in an unexpected setting. The tiger, depicted as a leopard due to the traditional Japanese use of the terms interchangeably, is seen with a dead rooster in its mouth, turning its head to gaze at another rooster perched on a rail behind it. The woodblock print, a masterpiece of the ukiyo-e genre, is attributed to the renowned artist Kanagaki Robun. 3. Context: The title of the print, "Changing Times Bring Unseen Things," reflects the cultural and societal transformations occurring in Japan during the late Edo period. The image of a tiger, a symbol of power and strength, interacting with roosters, which represent the dawn of a new day, highlights the unpredictability and constant evolution of life. 4. Artistic Technique: The intricately detailed print is a testament to the skillful woodcutting techniques of the time. The use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and meticulous shading creates a striking contrast between the tiger's powerful presence and the delicate features of the roosters. 5. Artist: Kanagaki Robun (1829-1894) was a prominent ukiyo-e artist known for his innovative compositions and mastery of various artistic techniques. His works often explored themes of nature, folklore, and the changing seasons. 6. Cultural Significance: This print is an excellent example of the artistic and cultural richness of the Edo period in Japan. It offers a glimpse into the society's appreciation for the natural world, its fascination with symbolism, and its ability to capture the essence of change and transformation. 7. Untranslated Text: The recto (front) of the print bears untranslated text, adding to the print's mystery and allure. The text may provide additional context or meaning to the image, making it an intriguing subject for further research and study.
