Cranes at the Sea Shore c. 1768

This print, "Cranes at the Sea Shore" from 1768, is a classic work by the renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu. The delicate design features three cranes in a landscape setting, with one soaring through the sky and two foraging on the shore. Harunobu’s signature *ukiyo-e* (literally “pictures of the floating world”) style is evident in this work, with its emphasis on natural imagery and graceful lines. The print showcases Harunobu’s talent for capturing the beauty of everyday life and the natural world.
