Japanese crane

I photographed a Japanese crane.

The shooting location is Tsurui Ito Sanctuary in Tsurui Village, Hokkaido.

The Japanese crane is designated as a special natural monument of the country.

I moved to Hokkaido because I admire Japanese cranes.

I have been taking photos of Japanese cranes for over 10 years.

I think Japanese cranes are beautiful, like gods.

It is a bird of sacred and mysterious beauty.

I take photos to convey the splendor and beauty of Japanese cranes.
