Om maleriet
This elegant design is full of auspicious motifs. Two cranes, symbols of longevity, are pictured against a backdrop of bamboo and flowering cherry, symbols of flexibility and fortitude. The morning sun is a perfect globe above. Together, they evoke the New Year, which the design was probably intended to celebrate.
This sheet is a copyist's drawing and would have been copied from Toyonobu's original sketches. The copyist's drawing is usually destroyed when the initial printing block is carved. The survival of this sheet suggests that the design was never realised as a finished print.
