Kanô Tan'yû (1602-74) painted this work during his prime by copying Flying Crane from Crying Cranes (designated an Important Cultural Property), which are a pair of hanging scrolls housed at the Kyoto temple of Shôkoku-ji and which were painted by Wenzheng of China's early Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Although Tan'yû copied the original work quite closely, he added his own original ideas in places. Granting that it is a copy, this work is a representative masterpiece among Tan'yû's flower-and-bird paintings on silk. Itô Jakuchû (1716-1800) also made a copy from the same work.
