Crane Room murals

continuing with nature and Japanese scenery in the restaurant, we decided to theme the private dining rooms with seasons. this room's season is winter, depicting the resting of cranes in a snow covered field with barren tree branches.

the chef/owner of Akatsuki was renewing the restaurant, a local Gardena, CA spot for the past 30 years. wanting to bridge the gap between the loyal customers in the Japanese community and the younger generation, the owner asked for a stencil art perspective on traditional Japanese themes.
