Crane, Sun, and Pine Tree Kakemono - Terrific kakemono or vertical diptych of a crane perched on its nest in a pine tree with a softly shaded red sun in the background. Three chicks open their beaks excitedly as the crane looks to the side, one stretching its wings. The birds are framed by pine branches, with the rugged trunk along the left side of the print. A great composition and a beautiful nature design.
