Each mounted on six wood panels with metal fittings. All against a silver ground, the first screen painted with a pair of tigers peering out of their cave, one recumbent with its teeth baring, the other approaching the edge of the cliff, its mouth open in a wide snarl. Their bodies finely rendered in their characteristic stripes. The second screen painted with the tiger’s antagonizer, the dragon, its sinuous body engulfed in scrolling clouds.Inscriptions: Signed to each panel, Kokan 廣&#-30285; with seal Kokan 廣&#-30285;. Inscribed to the back, &#-28598;於&#-32072;為盛会 [Association to flourish through art]. The six arts are: manners and ritual (ceremonial), music, archery, horsemanship, calligraphy, and arithmetic.SIZE 173 x 349 cm (each)Condition: Very good condition with wear and vibrant colors. Some soiling, few stains, and flaking to pigment. Small losses with associated repairs and touchups, all as visible in the images provided. The back with traces of wear and use.Tiger and dragon are Chinese cosmological symbols of the balancing forces in the world, yin (the feminine aspect) and yang (the masculine aspect). The tiger's roar is also said to generate wind, and the dragon clouds. The screens may have originally been meant to express the fluctuating nature of the world as envisioned in the practice of military divination, or forecasting, based on the Yijing (Book of Changes).
