1000 Origami Cranes Project

Thousand Origami Cranes is a group of one thousand origami paper cranes held together by strings. The Crane in Japan is one of the holy creatures and is said to live for a thousand years.  Making a thousand Cranes expresses the desire for long life and happiness. 
It has been the tradition in Japan that if someone is sick, then his/her friends, family, and the community will try to make a thousand Origami Cranes to present as prayers for healing.

We named this project, "1000 Origami Cranes Project". 
As a community, we would like to invite everyone to participate in making a thousand Origami Cranes. We plan to present the thousand Origami Cranes to hospitals.
Our workshops and drop off location will be posted on this blog site.

We also welcome any group, school, or other organization to participate in our project.

Please contact us using the contact form.

Thank you, Tsuyako and everyone who contributed to our 1000 crane project! Our 1000 cranes were presented to the Masonic Home for elderly in Richmond, VA. I know each one who participated in this project, made these cranes with his/her love for those who receive them. As the 1000 cranes are the symbol for wellness and happiness, it is our prayer that these 1000 cranes will bring a lot of happiness to these dear gentlemen and ladies at this facility. Our sincere thanks to the director of the Masonic Home for elderly in Richmond for accepting our gift for residents. "Thank you so much to all of you!" Our project will continue... If you want to participate in this project, please contact us using the contact form. We will send you the instruction, "how to make origami cranes".
