Tsuru means "crane" in Japanese. This painting was inspired by the bird's appearance and its symbolism.
In Japanese culture, the crane symbolises longevity, happiness and loyalty. According to folklore, it is believed to live for a thousand years.
The crane is also associated with hope and resilience. Its ability to endure difficult conditions and continue its journey has made it a symbol of perseverance and renewal. In Japanese tradition, it is sometimes seen as a messenger between the earthly and spiritual worlds, carrying hopes and prayers towards the heavens.
