【CYPRESS-Raden： Crane】

In traditional Chinese culture, there are many animals that represent auspicious and crane is one of them.
In fact, crane is another name for the red-crowned crane. Because of its graceful posture, it is considered a noble animal. Red-crowned crane has a life span of 50 to 60 years. People often draw the crane and the sturdy old pine tree together. As a symbol of longevity, noble character and respected status.

As a proverb goes: "Crane is not dyed but confesses, and crow is not dyed but black." Therefore, it is also used as a metaphor for a man that has noble character.
