"Old Tiger in the Snow" is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾 北斎, 1760–1849). Created during the later period of Hokusai's life, this print exemplifies his fascination with nature and animals, a theme recurrent in his extensive body of work. The image depicts a solitary tiger, rendered with dynamic brushwork that conveys the texture of its fur and the ruggedness of the snowy landscape it traverses. The composition is characterized by a sense of stillness and the tiger's contemplative gaze, which contrasts with the implied movement of the falling snow and the animal's potential energy.

Hokusai's "Old Tiger in the Snow" is often celebrated for its masterful use of negative space and the balance between the subject and the surrounding environment. The artwork reflects Hokusai's expertise in capturing the essence of his subjects with minimal yet expressive strokes, a technique that has inspired countless artists and admirers of Japanese woodblock prints. The print is also indicative of Hokusai's interest in the natural world and his ability to imbue animals with a sense of personality and emotion, which is particularly evident in the portrayal of the tiger's dignified and serene demeanor against the harshness of its environment.

As with many of Hokusai's works, "Old Tiger in the Snow" showcases the artist's innovative approach to traditional Japanese art and his influence on the development of ukiyo-e during the Edo period. The print remains a significant piece within Hokusai's oeuvre and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and contribution to the genre of Japanese woodblock printing.
