At the Matsuo Taisha (or Matsuo Shrine) in Kyoto, tigers have a special significance as guardians and protectors. The shrine is dedicated to the god of brewing and drinking, Ōyamakui no Kami, a deity revered for protection and prosperity. The tiger, known for its strength and power, is often associated with protection against evil and the ability to overcome obstacles. In the context of the Matsuo Taisha, statues of tigers are commonly seen, symbolizing this protective force.

What’s more, the tiger is also associated with the direction of the west in the Chinese zodiac, and as the shrine is located to the west of Kyoto, this further reinforces its symbolic role as guardian of the city. Omikuji are fortune predictions found in Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan.

Drawn at random, these strips of paper offer predictions ranging from “great luck” to “great misfortune” and cover various aspects of life such as health, love and work. Sometimes, omikuji are hidden in small animal-shaped statuettes. On our linocut, the Tiger omikuji is marked “chance”. Omikuji are a popular Japanese tradition, symbolizing the search for divine guidance and blessings.

Travel to the heart of Japan through my linocuts

Travel to the heart of Japan through my linocuts

My linocuts are directly inspired by my travels in Japan. Fascinated by this country, its enchanting landscapes and rich culture, I create works that capture the essence of places that have made a deep impression on me. My creations reflect the diversity of Japanese landscapes, from the mystical beauty of its temples to the elegance of its maiko. Each theme is carefully chosen by myself and Sophie to offer an authentic and captivating representation of Japanese culture, and thus share with you a unique vision of this fascinating country.
