A visual study of red-crowned cranes in winter, photographed in Hokkaido, where I live. Long admired in Japanese culture as symbols of longevity, fidelity, and peace, these birds move with quiet dignity through the snowy landscape. This series reflects moments of stillness, ritual, and connection shaped by the rhythm of winter. With minimal compositions and soft natural light, the work becomes a meditation on presence - each photograph drawn with the simplicity and grace of a brushstroke in calligraphy.
