The Crane Wife is a traditional Japanese folk tale. It is an old tale, told in many ways in many cultures, a story of love and greed. Hiroshi, a poor man, rescues a crane from a trap. In a few days a young woman, Keiko, appears at his door. Eventually they are married and are happy. But Hiroshi begins to regret his poor state because he wanted to purchase pretty things for Keiko. She decides to weave a beautiful cloth which he sells for more money than he ever thought possible. Greed sets in. He pushes Keiko to weave more, the more she weaves the weaker she becomes. Eventually she flies out of his life. Robert Walp says: "The words and illustrations in this version are mine, but the story belongs to us all."
