It was once common in East Asia and is often referred to as the Japanese Crane but the birds numbers have severely declined in Japan in recent decades due to habitat loss. Today, conservation efforts are succeeding in helping the birds make a comeback. In Eastern culture, these beautiful birds are symbolic of marital bliss, happiness and good fortune and also of peace. With simple stitches and the right threads this will be an amazing sophisticated canvas to love for years to come.
