Product Description

From the Author

How to fold good-luck cranes and string them.
Writing this book gave me special pleasure as I hope it will contribute to making friends for the traditional folded crane and for peace all over the world. Readers have told me that the instructions for stringing 1000 cranes are most helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thousand Cranes, 1 July 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Thousand Cranes (My Favorite Origami) (Paperback)
This book is very simple and has become a worldwide endevaor by all of those who buy this book. The book contains instructions on how to fold the "lucky crane" and string "a thousand cranes" together. The book contains the story of Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who exposed to the atom bomb at the age of two, died of cancer ten years later. Sadako believed that if she could fold a thousand cranes she would recover but she was only able to fold 644 before she died. Now, people from all over the world send strands of "a thousand cranes" with sincere wishes for a better world to be placed around the statue of Sadako in the Peace Park in Hiroshima. This book contains all of the information you need to make and send your "thousand cranes" or "peace cranes" as they called in Japan to the Hiroshima Memorial. This makes a wonderful group project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paper cranes for the origami- challenged, 12 Nov 2006
By A. Raines "art teacher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Thousand Cranes (My Favorite Origami) (Paperback)
This is a great book, especially if you have been challenged by origami in the past. I had tried to learn how to make cranes before, but ended up very frustrated and with balls of colorful paper instead of cranes! Tne diagrams made perfect sense to me, and I was able to learn to make cranes in no time.
