Kishi Ganku was a self-taught [[Edo period]] painter, known especially for his paintings of [[tigers]].
His personal style drew from influences of [[literati painting]], the [[Nagasaki school]] of Chinese-style painting, elements of Western realism, and the trend for ''[[shasei]]'' - drawing from life. Though no living tigers could be seen in Japan, in [[1798]] Ganku received a tiger's head which had been imported through [[Nagasaki]] as a gift; this allowed him to sketch a tiger's head with greater accuracy.
