Welcome to Animals どうぶつ
The Red-crowned Crane is called “Tancho 丹頂” by the Japanese. The crane had a conspicuous presence in Japanese culture. Reputed in folklore to live one thousand years, they are a symbol of longevity. Their well-deserved reputation for fidelity makes them a popular symbol in wedding ceremonies. The crane has been a common theme in Japanese art for many centuries.
