In Japan, paintings have always occupied an important place, from the prints of the Edo period (1603-1868) to more modern and trendy canvases like this Japanese Tiger Painting. Their style has of course evolved from ukiyo-e, which featured landscapes, samurai, yokai (Japanese mythological creatures), representations of Buddha and erotic scenes, to a much more diversified style. However, although today's Japanese paintings have a more modern style, due mainly to the evolution of printing techniques and artistic trends, they still feature the same motifs and cultural references that illustrate Japan: samurai, flowers, bamboo, geishas, koi carp, sakura cherry trees and all manner of mythological spirits such as dragons and demons.

How to enhance this Japanese Tiger painting ?
Once you've decided which room you'd like to display this painting in, you'll need to decide which wall you'd like to hang it on. If your furniture and room layout don't allow for several choices, you won't need to think about it. But if you do have several choices, it's best to hang the picture in the center of the wall, leaving some distance around it to make it stand out in the room and create a warm atmosphere.
Also, make sure you don't install this Japanese Tiger painting too far from the room's lighting, whether natural or artificial, as otherwise its colors may not come out in the best way. Finally, as for the number of walls, if you have several choices when it comes to lighting, it's also advisable to opt for a natural light source so that its nuances are not slightly influenced by the color reflected by a lamp, bulb or lampshade.
