Fine Japanese Calligraphy

The Art of Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase

鶴 tsuru Crane

The Japanese word tsuru is a single kanji meaning "Crane" (the bird not the machine). I have also included two hiragana versions even though there is some abiguity - Crane is a common word and the most likely interpretation.
