Watonai and the Tiger in the Bamboo Grove
A Japanese woodblock print depicting Watonai and the Tiger in the Bamboo Grove by artist Yoshitoshi. The man has medium skin, medium to dark hair that is tousled and unkempt, and facial hair. He wears a robe, what appears to be protective armor on his arms and chest, and leg wrappings. The man holds a sword in his right hand and a block with Japanese writing on it in his left. The man appears to have a stern facial expression and stares to his right. The man stands on a tiger's paw. The large tiger behind him faces forward with its body angled to the left. The tiger's body is covered in black stripes and spots. The tiger's tail is raised in the air behind the man. The background contains a bamboo grove with green bamboo stalks and leaves. The print is in black and sepia tones.
