Tiger Screen (1781) is a seminal work by Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795), a distinguished Japanese artist known for his innovative contributions to the Maruyama school of painting. This piece stands as a testament to Ōkyo's mastery in blending traditional Japanese techniques with Western realism, a hallmark of his artistic style. The Tiger Screen, created in 1781, is a pair of folding screens (byōbu) that depict tigers in a vivid and dynamic manner, showcasing Ōkyo's skillful use of ink and color on paper.

Maruyama Ōkyo was a pivotal figure in the Edo period art scene, and his approach to painting was revolutionary. He is credited with introducing a more realistic portrayal of subjects, drawing inspiration from life and nature, which was a departure from the more stylized and symbolic representations common in Japanese art at the time. The Tiger Screen is particularly notable for its lifelike depiction of the animals, achieved through Ōkyo's careful observation and the influence of Chinese and Western art, which he had studied through imported texts and artworks.

The work is significant not only for its artistic excellence but also for its cultural implications. Tigers, which are not native to Japan, were often depicted in Japanese art based on Chinese and Korean models, and Ōkyo's representation was no exception. However, his ability to infuse these foreign influences with his unique perspective and technique resulted in a piece that was both familiar and novel to the Japanese audience.

Today, the Tiger Screen is celebrated for its historical importance and its role in the evolution of Japanese painting. It exemplifies Ōkyo's legacy as an artist who bridged the gap between the traditional and the modern, the East and the West, and in doing so, left an indelible mark on the development of Japanese art. The screens are not only admired for their aesthetic beauty but also studied for their contribution to the understanding of cultural exchange and artistic innovation in the late 18th century.
