PAIR OF FINE JAPANESE AUSPICIOUS CRANES PAINTINGS
Pair of Exceptional Antique / Vintage Original Japanese Red Crowned Auspicious Cranes painted with tempera and ink on silk. Signed. Framed in Japan. In frames each 18.5"x36"x1". Weight combined 15 lbs. The Japanese red-crowned crane is an endangered species native to the eastern regions of Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. It is estimated that only around 4,000 Japanese cranes can still be found all over the world. Cranes in Japanese traditional culture are considered a mystical figure, an animal close to the kamisama (Japan?s native Shinto deities). In traditional Confucianism, cranes are believed to live up to 1,000 years, and that is why they are also a symbol of longevity, success, and good fortune. Cranes are believed to have the power to grant wishes and answer prayers
