About the Item
A finely cast bronze mirror from the Edo period, featuring an exceptionally rare motif: a powerful tiger set against elegant plum blossoms. The contrasting imagery embodies strength and resilience paired with seasonal renewal — a symbolic pairing highly appreciated in Japanese art.
The surface retains a beautiful aged patina, enhancing the depth of the relief work. This piece represents both functional craftsmanship and refined artistic expression typical of 18th-century Japanese metalwork.
