"Cranes with Pine" is a six-panel folding screen created by an anonymous artist of the Kano School during the 18th-19th century. The screen depicts a tranquil landscape with cranes amidst pine trees, bamboo, and flowering plants. This piece exemplifies the Kano School’s signature style, known for its meticulous details and harmonious composition, characteristic of the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. The screen is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering viewers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the Kano School and the broader artistic landscape of 18th-19th century Japan.
