Crane II
by Taguchi Tomoki
Taguchi Tomoki (active mid-19th century) was a Japanese woodblock artist best known for his rare book of prints, Yatsuo no Tsubaki (Eight Hills Camellia), created during the late Edo period. The book distilled everyday motifs and abstract forms into bold visual statements, blending restraint with striking design.
In this print, Tomoki presents a crane in vibrant hues of teal, orange, yellow, and black. Its elongated legs and sweeping tail feathers give the bird a sense of elegance and balance, while the bold linear patterns add rhythm and movement. The crane, a traditional Japanese symbol of longevity and prosperity, is here transformed into a modernist composition that feels both decorative and iconic.
Though created over 150 years ago, Tomoki’s art feels distinctly contemporary. His focus on reduction, harmony, and bold composition aligns seamlessly with today’s Japandi and modern interior styles, proving the timeless relevance of his vision.
Perfect for Japandi interiors, eclectic modern spaces, and homes that embrace both cultural symbolism and bold design.
Individually restored & edited, printed on fine art archival matte paper, this piece honors the delicate line work and atmospheric mastery of traditional Japanese-inspired art.
