Title: Crane Maiden
Legend:
Old Japanese folk tales tell of animal spirits such as swans or foxes who choose to take on the form of a human for a while; and even learn to love as a human for a while, but find they must inevitably answer the call to return to the freedom they left in their other form.
This picture depicts an imagined version of such a story; a Crane Maiden discovered coming from the surf onto the land by a poor Japanese fisherman.
The How:
Many blended and newly combined layers of Japanese and Hawaiian antique woodcut prints or paintings.
Well just superb Miss Wildgoose, this is simply wonderful and very interesting.
