Two Cranes

Itō Jakuchū

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two cranes standing on a surface with a beige background. The cranes are drawn in shades of beige and black. One crane's body faces right; its neck curved left and its head turned right. The other crane is obscured, with only its tail visible. A black patterned border runs along the top and bottom. A vertical column of Japanese characters in black and a red seal are on the right side.
