TORA LINEN SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT
TORA LINEN SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT LIMITED EDITION of 100
Inspired by the tora, meaning tiger, in Japanese. This distinctive print references the aesthetic of tiger fur found in the classical Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo period (1615 – 1868).
These colourful woodblock prints are known as Ukiyo-e , which literally means “Pictures of the Floating World”.
FURTHER READING
Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese Art and style of woodblock print and painting that depicts kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and erotica.
Woodblock printing is a technique for printing text, images or patterns, used widely throughout East Asia in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and paper. Each image is created by carving a wooden block to leave only some
areas and lines at the original level; it is these lines that are inked and shown in the print in a relief printing process.
Tigers, or tora in Japan, also symbolise protection against evil spirits and bad energies. They are depicted as “noble subjects” and regarded as a protective creature, who roars like thunder and can ward away demons and spirits.
