Tigers in Ancient Japanese Art
The people of ancient Japan gained knowledge of tigers through contact with Chinese and Korean civilizations. Tigers initially appeared as imaginary creatures on mirrors and tomb murals. With the transmission of Buddhism during the Asuka period, tigers were depicted on the Tamamushi Shrine at Horyuji Temple. Individual works with the tiger as the major subject only began to appear in the Nanboku-cho and Muromachi periods.
