This remarkable and large-scale bronze tiger sculpture, originating from the Meiji period, exemplifies the era's artistic mastery and transition. The sculpture is distinguished by its superior craftsmanship, showcasing the tiger's stripes through the intricate use of patinated bronze that beautifully alternates between matte and glossy textures.
The Meiji period in Japan was a time of profound transformation across various societal aspects, including economics, politics, and social structure. This period also marked a significant shift in artistic expression, particularly in metalwork. Artisans who traditionally focused on arms and armour production turned their skills towards more artistic endeavors, as magnificently demonstrated in this sculpture.
The sculpture captures the essence of a tiger's ferocious glare and imposing presence, reflecting the animal's raw strength and vitality. Every detail, from the musculature to the overall poise of the tiger, is rendered with precision and care, making this piece a remarkable representation of animal sculpture from the Meiji period.
This exquisite work of art, measuring 198 cm in length, 79 cm in height, and 40 cm in width, is not only a tribute to the Meiji period and Japanese culture but also a unique and one-of-a-kind addition to any collection of fine bronzes and animal sculptures. It carries the artist's signature on the underside, written in Japanese, adding to its authenticity and historical value.
