    You are correct!

    It is Cranes, by Ogata Korin, a Japanese artist of the Edo period (1658-1716).

    What you have been looking at here have been parts of a pair of six-panel folding screens, done in ink, color, gold and silver on paper.

    You can view the whole piece in the collection of the Smithsonian Freer/Sackler Gallery
