In Japan, cranes have been thought a symbol of long life. An old phrase says "cranes live a thousand years.” Origami, specially crafted and patterned paper, was invented in the Edo period. In the late 17th century books referring not only to "paper cranes" but also to "one thousand cranes" were published. In modern times, cranes are often given to a person who is seriously ill, to wish for their recovery.
In this workshop, we will be folding paper cranes with colorful origami paper. You can fold as many as you can in 90 minutes. Once you fold one or two, you will be the pro and you can use them to wish your family and friends a speedy recovery or good luck in sports.
