Japanese Legend of the Sea Crane, Jewelry Box

The Legend of the Japanese Crane. Tsuru Nyōbō (鶴女房, "Crane Wife"). According to Japanese scholar Seki Keigo, the story is "one of the best known" tales in Japan about supernatural and enchanted spouses, and many of those tales center around the actions of a Craine. Do yourself a favor and read, "Crane's Return of a Favor," and, "The Craine Wife". In Japan the Crane is viewed as the Bird which is the Harbinger of Happiness and Wisdom. The Wings of the Crane were believed to Carry Souls to Heaven as well as to Elevate a Person to a Higher Level of Spiritual Enlightenment. Presented is a Floral Fuchsia Lined Lacquered Vintage Jewelry Box featuring this Magnificent Much Storied Creature. I spent over a year living in Japan, Deacon Ricky.
