No. 18 The Crane

A single brushstroke crane calligraphy scroll dedicated to the iconic Japanese [ t s u r u ] and is inspired by the haiku below:

Also a year older
The crane flies down...
A field

- Kobayashi Issa -

Kakemonos - usually placed in a niche as one enters the house [ t o k o n o m a ] - are meant to encourage one towards reflection on the current season and introspection as well - perhaps before savouring a cup of tea.

The scroll is handpainted and handwritten with ink and entirely handmade.
