In Japan, there is a proverb: “Take ni Tora(竹に虎 )”— “Tiger with bamboo.”
It symbolises a harmonious balance between the vitality of bamboo and the strength of the tiger, expressing a sense of beauty, good fortune, and well-matched combinations.
The phrase also conveys a heartfelt wish in parenting: that a child may grow with resilience and unshakable strength, like the unwavering bamboo and the powerful tiger — thriving straight and true at their core.
The tiger’s paw serves as the model for the dragon’s paw.
