FLIGHT OF THE CRANES

The Japanese culture is much inspired by the beauty and brevity of the seasons and the deep symbolisms they provide to the transience of all living forms. Elements of Nature have been immortalized in art and poetry to become living inspirations.

The Flight of the Cranes is a superbly crafted, unique depiction of a pair of Cranes flying above the golden glow of an infinite cerulean sky welcoming the transition of night into dawn. The skill of the artist is apparent in the quality of Taka Maki-e achieved and the unusual colors of Urushi achieved in the Cerulean sky.
