Three white cranes with black necks and red crowns fly in a diagonal line across a large, glowing sun disc. Their wings are spread wide, with crisp outlines and dark shadow shapes beneath them that add depth to the flat style.

The sun is a warm apricot circle and the background a muted rose with a fine paper-like grain. The few flat colours and the generous empty space recall Japanese folk prints and give the image a calm, balanced feel.
