The story behind the motif
Poster featuring Cranes by Kamisaka Sekka, created in 1909–10 for the series Flowers of a Hundred Worlds, also known as Momoyogusa. The series consists of nature and literary motifs in which Sekka reconnects with the decorative visual language of the classical Rinpa tradition.
Three white cranes rest behind dense green pine branches. The birds’ black necks, red crowns, and directed beaks gather toward the center of the image, creating an elegant balance. The original is a colour woodblock print with elements of gold and silver, giving the warm background a subtle lustre.
Artist: Kamisaka Sekka (1866–1942) | Created: 1909–10.
Frame not included.
