"Cranes" by Okyo Maruyama, also known as Maruyama Ōkyo, is a renowned pair of six-panel folding screens that exemplify the Japanese artist's innovative approach to painting and his mastery of the naturalistic style. Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795) was a pivotal figure in the world of Japanese art, known for his significant departure from the more stylized and traditional forms of Japanese painting in favor of a detailed, realistic technique influenced by Western art.

The "Cranes" screens, created in 1772, are considered one of Ōkyo's masterpieces and are highly valued for their delicate beauty and technical excellence. The artwork depicts a group of red-crowned cranes, a bird species native to East Asia that is revered in Japanese culture as a symbol of longevity and good fortune. The cranes are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, capturing their elegant postures and the soft texture of their feathers against a gold-leaf background that enhances the ethereal quality of the scene.

The composition of the screens is a testament to Ōkyo's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The cranes are arranged in various states of activity—some standing, others in flight, and a few at rest—creating a dynamic yet harmonious scene that reflects the natural rhythms of the animal world. The use of perspective and shading in the painting demonstrates Ōkyo's exposure to Western artistic techniques, which he integrated with traditional Japanese methods to develop his unique style.

"Cranes" by Okyo Maruyama is not only a significant work in the artist's oeuvre but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the aesthetic preferences and artistic innovations of the Edo period in Japan. The screens are held in high regard and have been featured in numerous exhibitions, reflecting their enduring appeal and importance in the history of Japanese art.
