Comments - Lovely kacho-e or birds and flowers print of two cranes standing in shallow water, one dipping its head to feed. Faint ripples move out across the water, and reeds blowing in the breeze line the opposite shore, fading into the distance against a warm peach sky. A terrific shin hanga design with beautiful bokashi shading.
