Crane 鶴 No.5

One of my project "Crane" since 2015. Simple ink with slim line. The ink(sumi) effect is beautiful.

The Crane symbolizes beauty, harmony, and grace. It represents positive change as it has been associated with the New Year in various cultures. Crane symbolism focuses on the need for balance and living in harmony with others. Cranes teach us that if we want respect, we must learn to give it first.

In Japan, these cranes are called “Tanchozuru” and are believed to be symbolic of loyalty and strength. They’re also used in the international logo of Japan Airlines. There is a popular myth in the country which says that these birds live for over a thousand years.

I painted few positions of cranes. One by one, you can see well the beauty of crane.
