Red-Crowned Heron
Descrição
Sacred to the Doji and Kakita families, a frequent subject of art and sculpture, and considered a lucky goodomen animal, the red-crowned heron is named for the bright-red bare patch on its head. With its black-andwhite plumage and graceful gait, it is widely regarded as a symbol of beauty, cleverness, and longevity. Although it is the largest species of crane in Rokugan (and perhaps the world), it is not hunted for its meat except by the very desperate. This is partially due to the ferocity with which it defends itself, a display that has inspired martial artists to imitate its wing and claw movements. It is also in part due to the crane’s sacred status; needlessly killing one is considered bad luck.
