Fangs bared and muscles coiled, a tiger bursts out of the water in a spray of stylized foam. This illustration draws directly on the Japanese woodblock prints of the ukiyo-e movement, with their graphic waves and larger-than-life beasts, and the animal’s mid-leap tension gives the image an energy you can feel from across the room.

In a living room, an office or a grown-up bedroom, this bold wall art print sets a mood in an instant: that of an old, mysterious Japan where nature still rules. It will appeal to devotees of Japanese culture and to anyone who likes their walls with a strong point of view. Our water-borne feline also has several striped cousins, all gathered in the Tiger Posters collection.
