Asian Art

Dragon; Tiger

Dragon, Tiger (Chinese: 龍虎圖) are a set of two hanging scroll paintings on silk, painted by the Chan (Zen) artist Muqi Fachang during the Southern Song dynasty, contemporary to that of the Kamakura period. Now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the painting was exported from China to Japan soon after its creation, where it enjoyed long time ownership under the Ashikaga shogunate. Like the painting Six Persimmons, held by Daitoku-ji, Kyoto, Muqi's paintings has long been considered popular in Japan.
