Raise the wind　

This year’s zodiac is a tiger. Maruyama Okyo draws an impressive tiger. During the Edo period, people could not see a living tiger. So he used a cat as a model and drew it with reference to imported fur. The tiger’s appearance created by imagination is adorable and original. The “虎嘯生風図 ” is a figure of a tiger raising the wind. In this work, Okyo, who approaches an unknown animal, has the opportunity to demonstrate his talent. It is exactly as the title.
