Tiger in Landscape (one of a pair) is a 1799 unspecified by Kishi Ganku, a Ukiyo-e work, depicting Tiger, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting depicts a tiger in motion, set against a landscape backdrop. The tiger is rendered in warm tones, with its body facing left and its head turned towards the viewer. Its tail is extended, and its front paws are lifted as if in mid-stride. The background features a rocky outcropping, trees, and a cloudy sky, all depicted in muted colors. The artist's use of bold brushstrokes and vivid colors brings the tiger to life, conveying a sense of energy and movement. The landscape provides a subtle contrast to the tiger's dynamic pose, creating a sense of balance in the composition.

Kishi Ganku wasn't just a painter—he was a showman who brought wild energy to quiet Kyoto.
