"The Unicorn" by Miné Crane Spiral Notebook

Our custom spiral notebook featuring "The Unicorn" painting by Miné Crane on the cover will inspire your creative muse. Part of the Crane Estate Collection, "The Unicorn" spotlights a unicorn sitting under a tree in a dream-like scene against a night sky. Miné had a distinctive, naïve painting style – a kind of folk art style that combined elements of Japanese linear drawing with American whimsy and the use of bold color.  Born in Hiroshima, Japan, Miné Sawahara was both a painter and musician, as well as a dedicated patron of the arts. She also loved nature and took great inspiration from her seasonal home on the Crane Estate in Ipswich. Miné (1912-1991) met Cornelius Crane (1905-1962), son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard T. Crane, Jr., during his many travels to the Pacific islands, and his home in Tahiti. They married in Japan in 1955 and returned to the United States, where she became an American citizen in 1960.
