Description
KISHI GANTAI (1782-1865)
Edo period (1615-1868), circa 1836-1853
A pair of hanging scrolls in ink on paper depicting on the right scroll a dragon grasping in its claws a branch of flowering prunus, and on the left scroll a tiger under a sprig of bamboo grass, both signed Echizen no kami Gantai and sealed Gantai and Kunchin
With single wood tomobako storage box (2)
38 3/4 x 11 1/2in (98.4 x 29.2cm) each
Footnotes:
The dragon and tiger are symbols of the two opposing and yet complimentary forces of yin and yang. The dragon, a mythical animal thought to reign over the heavens, stands for yang. The tiger, respected in ancient China as mightiest of the wild beasts, stands for yin. They are often paired together in painting compositions.
