Tatsuoki Ichino ”The Cranes” Two cranes are depicted, with one gently preening the other. Cranes are highly social birds, known to engage in preening not only between lifelong mates but also among companions. Such behavior symbolizes care, empathy, and the strengthening of bonds.
In Japanese culture, the crane is regarded as a bird of dignity and auspicious fortune, cherished since ancient times as a symbol of harmony and conjugal fidelity. Even in this simple act, one may sense the very spirit long valued in Japan. The warm-toned background envelops the pair, as if tenderly watching over their intimate exchange.
