"Tiger and Dragon" (Japanese: 虎斑の龍) is a renowned woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Kishi Ganku, also known as Kishi Ganryō (岸岸龍, 1749 or 1756–1839). Ganku was the founder of the Kishi school of painting and is well-known for his unique style that blended elements of Chinese and Japanese art, particularly in the depiction of dynamic and often ferocious animal subjects.

The "Tiger and Dragon" print is a striking example of Ganku's artistic prowess and is considered one of his masterpieces. In this work, Ganku captures the essence of two of the most symbolic creatures in East Asian culture—the tiger and the dragon—representing the yin and yang, respectively. The tiger is often associated with strength and bravery, while the dragon symbolizes wisdom and power. Ganku's depiction of these creatures is characterized by powerful brushwork and vivid detail, which convey the movement and raw energy of the animals.

Created during the Edo period, a time when Japan was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and largely isolated from the outside world, "Tiger and Dragon" reflects the period's artistic trends, where there was a significant interest in natural subjects and a move towards more expressive and bold forms of art. Ganku's work is particularly noted for its influence from Chinese painting techniques, which he integrated with the Japanese tradition, thus creating a distinctive style that was to be emulated by his students and followers.

The print itself has been influential in the world of Japanese art and has been referenced and reproduced in various forms. It is often studied for its compositional balance and the way it captures the cultural significance of the tiger and dragon in a single frame. As a testament to its enduring appeal, "Tiger and Dragon" continues to be celebrated in modern times and is featured in collections of Japanese art around the world.

Due to its historical and cultural significance, "Tiger and Dragon" by Kishi Ganku is a valuable piece of art that offers insight into the Edo period's aesthetics and the evolution of Japanese painting. It stands as a testament to Ganku's skill and his contribution to the development of the Kishi school of painting.
