Rosetsu Nagasawa est né en 1754. Genéralement, le personnage du tableau regarde ailleurs.

Dans son oeuvre, le tigre semble nous regarder. Il prend une pause théâtrale. C'est très unique.
Il fait peur mais il est attirant.
Il reste gravé dans ma mémoire.

Rosetsu Nagasawa was born in 1754. Generally speaking, the character of the picture looks at somewhere else. In his pictures, this tiger seems to stare at us and strike an impressive pose. It is quite unique. He makes us fear but he attracts us. He is deeply engraved in my memory.
