Zen Buddhist Tiger and Strawberry Jigsaw Puzzle
A variation of the Zen Buddhist parable about the tiger and the strawberry. As the story goes, a man in the mountains was set upon by a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a cliff, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to see crocodiles watching him, waiting for him to fall. Only the vine sustained him. A mouse appeared and, little by little, started to gnaw away at the vine. The man saw a wild strawberry growing from that vine. He plucked and ate it. How sweet it tasted! This is a Zen parable about simply enjoying the beauty of the present moment, with no attachment for the past (tiger) and no fear of the future (crocodiles) and being truly alive every second of your life. This, however, is of a young woman thinking of that parable when she notices she is being stalked by a leopard, and says she isn't going out like that. She'll fight to the death and eat all the strawberries afterward.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good.
The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.

I bought this image in 110 pieces because I like puzzles I can complete in a few hours. This one took me about 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly challenging in that in the nebular section of the image the pieces were difficult to orientate. It was difficult to gauge which pieces were right without trying them and sometimes I thought certain pieces wouldn't fit and they did. It must be the way the image is made up that it tricks the eye. I definitely found it harder than I thought it would be so yes it's a challenge.
As always very good quality puzzle in a very durable box that stores really well on my small bookcase. The image was well orientated on the puzzle so I would say the printer got this one pretty bang on. Very good quality image.
