About the work

An elegant metal sculpture titled "Thousand-Year Crane" by Naoki Tominaga, an acclaimed Japanese sculptor renowned for his refined and evocative animal figures. Expertly cast, this artwork depicts a crane gracefully at rest, rendered in polished silver-toned metal, with a vibrant red accent highlighting the crane’s distinctive crown. The meticulous attention to form captures both the physical beauty and symbolic essence of longevity associated with cranes in traditional Japanese culture.

It comes with its original wooden tomobako (signed storage box), inscribed with the title of the sculpture.
