The tiger is the emblem of the west, and the dragon, the east. In Zen Buddhism, however, the tiger came to be associated with the earthbound enlightened mind, and the dragon the soaring spirit of the freed, enlightened soul. Paired images of tigers and dragons are frequently encountered in Zen temples in Japan on pairs of screens or on sets of sliding-door paintings.); by Minneapolis Institute of Art; The Centennial Fund: Gift of the James Ford Bell Foundation, Aimee Mott Butler Charitable Trust, the Centennial Gala Committee and Carl A.
