Keyaki Wood Crane Sculpture

From the beauty of a tall standing crane ready to fish, comes the inspiring simplicity of this wooden crane. Designed from the organic formation of the roots of Keyaki, eyes set with black Agate, and features accented with Sterling silver, the piece stands atop a black granite.
 
Keyaki or Japanese Elm is a species of the genus Zelkova native to Japan, Korea, eastern China and Taiwan and is often grown as an ornamental tree. Keyaki wood is a highly prized wood in Japan for its beautiful grain, hardness and weight. It can be polished or stained.  
 
The Crane symbolizes beauty, harmony, and grace. It represents positive change as it has been associated with the New Year in various cultures. Crane symbolism focuses on the need for balance and living in harmony with others.
