A 19th-century Chinese tiger cap.

San Shin the Korean mountain god with his tiger, 2nd half of the 20th century, cloth backed with paper.

Fenggan Chanshi, one of the Buddha’s original disciples who obtained nirvana, is also known as the Tiger-taming lohan. To prevent a tiger harassing his monastery he advised that it be fed with vegetarian food. Soon the fearsome predator was transformed into Fenggan Chanshi’s tame familiar, accompanying him into the halls of the monastery and causing a certain amount of discomfort to the other inhabitants. The theme of vegetarianism subduing the tiger’s aggression, and of course its passions, is a common one in both eastern and western minds but, in reality, the tiger, like the domestic cat, would die if deprived of flesh.
