The crane has long been regarded as a symbol of longevity and quiet elegance.
The sense of speed in the brush marks shapes the movement of the wings and the direction of the body.
Thinking of its large form, black-and-white feathers, red crown, and graceful movement, I can only imagine how mysterious and beautiful it must be to see one in person.
It feels clear why this bird has been loved for so long in traditional imagery.
It is also sad that cranes are becoming harder to encounter in the wild.
One day, I hope to see one in person.
