11341 Japanese School (20th Century) – Stylized Chidori and Crane Pattern – Woodcut (20th Century)

"Japanese Pattern" presents a decorative dual-panel composition featuring traditional avian motifs. The upper section illustrates a rhythmic pattern of yellow chidori (plover) birds flying over blue seigaiha wave crests, while the lower section depicts white cranes in flight against a dark, churning sea with crashing white foam. This woodcut was produced as part of a series or collection showcasing Japanese artistic motifs, likely intended for design reference or aesthetic appreciation.
The Japanese school of the 20th century continued to evolve the ancient traditions of woodblock printing, balancing classical aesthetics with modern design sensibilities. While the specific artist is not identified, the work reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and focus on symbolic nature—such as the chidori representing perseverance and the crane representing longevity—that characterizes this artistic lineage. Such patterns were influential in both domestic crafts and international movements, demonstrating the enduring global impact of Japanese graphic arts. This piece exemplifies the transition of traditional motifs into the modern era through simplified forms and a refined color palette.
