Just to clarify my previous statement, an image search of either translation will produce photos of bronze tigers.
However, the tiger by Kiyomitsu saku, is usually displayed on a base, while the tiger by Atsuyoshi saku is usually not on a base. Of course it is possible that other tigers by both artists may or may not be on bases.
Additionally, the signature on the Atsuyoshi tiger usually includes the seal of the foundry, the Maruki Company, and does not resemble the signature in your photo. However, the signature on the Kiyomitsu tiger is similar to the photo above. (see link below)
For a page showing the Atsuyoshi tiger see:

You can zoom in on the signature in the upper left corner.
Cheers
