Japanese Cranes Nr 1 depicts cranes rendered in a style rooted in the long tradition of Japanese bird-and-flower art, where cranes carry associations of longevity and grace. Taguchi Tomoki's clean, illustrative linework channels that same visual language into a contemporary print, balancing traditional subject matter with a more graphic, pared-back composition.

Printed as a canvas print, the woven texture lends the piece a soft, gallery-ready depth that suits its layered colour and form.
