Description

Set atop an elegant wooden platform and red felt, the lucky pair of crane and turtle will bring luck and long life. Crafted with the Kutani ware technique, the vibrant colors and delicate raised texture on these auspicious animals add elegance to any space. 

The pairing of a crane and a turtle is commonly seen in traditional Japanese art. One of the legendary tales says that the turtle saved the crane from drowning, and many years later, the crane returned the act by saving the turtle from a terrible drought. In addition, both are believed to be omens for longevity — according to an old Japanese proverb, the crane lives 1,000 years while the turtle lives 10,000. 

The crane and turtle are both made using the Kutani ware style of “mori-e”. Growing in popularity since the Meiji Era, this technique involves applying thick stripes of paint in order to create a 3-D effect. The unique texture adds a striking pattern to the exterior of the figurine, bringing it to life. 

Place this divine pair in your home for a striking piece that will not only delight the visual senses but also bring you and your family a long, luxurious life.
