Stork Lord

Context

Every search for Japanese storks tends to include references to the crane as well. Although storks and cranes are not the same species of bird, they are quite similar, but the crane seems to be more prominent in Japanese tradition, mythology, and culture.

The best I could find of "Japanese storks" were Japanese (Oriental) storks. They were once thought to be extinct, but they seem to be slowly making a comeback.
