An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury.
I know you've probably all read that before but I just think it's so beautiful. *sigh*
love it!
ReplyDeleteI read Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. Such a heartbreaking story... I once tried to do this but didn't finish.

ReplyDeleteThe art of origami is so fascinating

I remember reading that story as a little girl! This post brings back memories of traveling to Japan and visiting the Hiroshima Memorial. They have thousands and thousands of paper cranes there! It's really beautiful, and bittersweet.
