White cranes soar from the black water of a lake tucked in the shadow of orange hills on this lovely mid 20th century scroll enclosed in the original signed and stamped wooden box by Takazaki Ko (b. 1910). Extremely delicate yellow trees reflect off the dark surface of the lake, contrasting with the thick ranks of orange marching up the hillside. Painted in the audacious style of Banka, the painting retains a quiet charm in the singular movement of the graceful birds. It measures 19-1/4 by 78-1/2 inches (49 x 199 cm) and is in excellent condition. Oki apprenticed twice, both under Nakamura gakuryo (1890-1969) and Maeda Seison
