— Cranes of the Morning Sun —
Asahi no Tsuru captures two cranes in flight across a brilliant red morning sun, surrounded by rolling waves, cherry blossoms, and the distant silhouette of Mount Fuji. Inspired by the bold compositions and natural imagery of traditional Japanese art, the piece brings together movement, balance, and symbolism in a richly layered landscape.
From the delicate feathers of the cranes to the curling waves and patterned sky, each element is crafted with careful attention to depth, color, and texture. Laser-cut layers of basswood and MDF are combined with two-tone acrylic and hand-painted details, allowing light, shadow, and natural wood grain to become part of the composition. A cedar frame provides a warm, organic contrast to the vivid reds, blues, and soft blossoms within the piece.
Made in Ojai, California, Asahi no Tsuru celebrates the beauty of movement and renewal—a pair of cranes carried across the morning sky as a new day begins.
Dimensions: 17.5" × 13.5"
Materials: Basswood Ply, MDF, Two-Tone Acrylic, Cedar, Acrylic Paint, Stain
