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.
