Artist's Comments
One of the four sacred gaurdians of the compass in Buddhism, known as Byakko in Japan, Baihu in China, and Baekho in Korea. The white tiger is the gaurdian of the west, and corresponds to the color white, the element of metal, wind, the season autumn, and of virtue and righteousness. When a person is buried with metal objects it is said that the tiger is their gaurdian. In China, the tiger is believed to be the king of all animals and the lord of the mountains. Thus white jade, also known as tiger jade, was reserved for commanders of armies. The tiger, among other things, represented the god of war, and not only served the armies of emperors, but fought off the demons that threatened the dead in their graves.
The characters spell "white tiger" in Japanese (Shiroi Tora). Painter IX and Photoshop 7 |
