Both Tsuru (crane) and Kame (Turtle) are Japanese symbols. Crane is a symbol for bride and turtle is a symbol for longevity.

In Japanese folklore, they say that cranes live for 1,000 years and turtles live for 10,000 years. It is common in Japan for cards or gifts to be sent with designs with crane and turtle.

 Nib Details:

This halo is commonly painted on the back of Japanese Buddhist statues.
