Japanese Hanging Scroll – Tiger & Bamboo – Kano School Style #904

This is an authentic Japanese kakemono (hanging scroll) hand-painted on silk, depicting a tiger among bamboo stalks. The artwork shows strong influence of the Kano school tradition — a style known for its bold brushwork, dynamic composition, and symbolic motifs that were highly valued by samurai families during the Edo period.

The tiger, a symbol of courage and protection, is delicately rendered with expressive ink washes and detailed brush lines. The bamboo symbolizes resilience and flexibility. Together they create a striking balance of strength and grace.

The scroll has been carefully remounted on a new backing with elegant brocade borders, preserving the original painting.
This piece is signed by the artist Shōno Baiun (将野梅雲筆), a lesser-known regional painter working in the late Edo or early Meiji period, showing clear connections with the Kano painting tradition.

A perfect addition for collectors of Japanese antiques, tea room decoration, or wabi-sabi interior design.
