Kawanabe Kyosai was one of the most famous Japanese painters. He was well known during his lifetime as an artist and developed a reputation as a trouble-maker since he would regularly paint caricatures of political leaders engaging in various comedic scenes. The son of a Samurai, Kyosai studied the art of painting from a very young age.

He painted the work known as Tiger in 1878 and it has long been one of the most iconic Japanese paintings in history. His style of painting was largely influenced by Tohaku and later would become the most prominent Japanese artist in the 19th century.
