Japanese crossword «Crane»

This is gorgeous! :D And way much harder than I first thought, haha!
Thanks Tverianka!

Tough to start. I didn't have the patience to do a lot of counting - that is my shortcoming - so I did take some guesses. Cool puzzle though!

nice

Bello e difficile.

Difficult but beautiful!

Outlines are always difficult. A striking picture.

Beautiful, but boy was that rough

Very lovely. Thank you

Very nice, not sure how so many people did it in under 20 minutes!

One of my all-time-favourites. Difficult but manageable. And very beautiful.

Very nice! Unique approach. Tough puzzle, but well worth the effort!!

superbe !

Couldn't figure it out until I finished. Nice job.

Starting with the reds I imagined what on earth it could become.
Just at the end it became clear and the result is superb. Well done!

A very nice challenge and a piece of art!

Dear lord i give up lol, nice image

No cheating. It needs accurate solving.

It starts off easy, gets difficult, but is all very logical. It gets easier towards the end. Thanks.

Great fun to solve! Thank you :))

splendid!

not for beginners !
needs some techniques to solve it
took me an hour but i got it

lovely design, thanks

This was a hard but rewarding one

Beautiful!

Wow! this was tough. It is a beautiful design, but really put me through the paces. I admit, I did cheat a little, it was so hard.

Very challenging, love the end result! Great puzzle, thanks. :)

I feel much better about my 26+ minutes on this after reading the comments. It was challenging for sure! And though I didn't intend to guess, I did take advantage of the times when the grid didn't fill in with x's as I expected.

I like this a lot! Good use of limited grid.

I only needed an 'is it this or is it that?' sort of cheating... But the rest of it took a LONG time.

I loved every minute solving this one. Yes a great challenge indeed, started with the red then green and here and there. Some checking needed. Fabulous and clever result.

Once I got the black chunk at the bottom it started coming together for me much quicker but up until that point I was fighting for my life! This was the hardest puzzle I've done yet, but really nice at the end, almost art nouveau-ish.
