Antique Japanese 6-Panel Kano School Tiger Screen by Yosenin Karenobu (1753–1808), Late 18th Century
This stunning 6-panel screen showcases a tiger, rendered in the traditional style of the Kano school by the artist Yosenin Karenobu (1753–1808). Created in the late 18th century, the screen presents the Kano school’s characteristic brushwork and detailed naturalism, depicting the tiger in dynamic and lifelike motion.
The Kano school was renowned for its mastery in combining decorative elegance with natural realism, and this screen is a striking example of that tradition. The tiger is rendered with powerful brushstrokes, capturing its muscular form and fierce presence. The bold depiction of the animal is balanced with a delicate background, a hallmark of Kano school painting, where the artist carefully juxtaposes the force of the tiger with a subtle natural setting.
The dimensions of the screen, at 402 cm wide and 167 cm high, make it an imposing and dramatic centerpiece, perfect for showcasing the grandeur of Edo-period Japanese art.
