Tiger and Dragon – Giclée Reproduction of Japanese Silk Scroll Painting 26.5"

Tiger and Dragon (Tora to Ryū 虎と龍). A stunning giclée reproduction of a traditional Japanese scroll painting (kakejiku 掛軸) depicting a tiger and dragon—two of the most powerful and auspicious symbols in East Asian art. The tiger, emblem of the earth and embodiment of courage and physical strength, faces the celestial dragon, guardian of the heavens and spirit of wisdom. Between them swirls a cosmic storm, as the dragon reaches for the sacred pearl (nyoi hōju 如意宝珠)—a symbol of enlightenment and divine energy.

This reproduction is taken from an original hand-painted scroll on silk, mounted with silk brocade borders in the classical Japanese style. The giclée print was produced from an ultra-high-resolution scan using a state-of-the-art flatbed scanner, faithfully capturing the texture, brushwork, and depth of the original painting.

Printed with fade-resistant archival pigment inks on acid-free fine art paper, this edition preserves the vivid colors and delicate detail of the original while offering lasting stability for display. The orange floral brocade pattern framing the image mirrors the elegance of traditional mounting.
