OHASHI Suisekic.1938

It is a six-fold, one-fold folding screen with gold leaf pressed on silk, and the metal fittings on the edges are openworked. Multiple tigers are depicted moving through a snow-capped rocky mountain, but the snow and rocks are easy-going with thick and quick brush strokes, and the tigers are precisely represented by careful hair drawing. It can be said that the result of Midoriishi's painting research appears in the composition that emphasizes the perspective and makes the depth in the space strongly conscious along the diagonal line from the upper right to the lower left.
