Few words about paper cranes
In Japanese culture, a crane (Tsuru, or つる) is a long living bird, one of the country’s symbols. Islands that belong to Japan, resemble a flying crane with their shape. That is why this bird is considered sacred.
It regulary leaves and comes back bringing wisdom and new experiences from distant places. Its appearance is a good omen, a sign of hope for better tomorrow. Considering the fact that cranes make couples for their whole lives, they also symbolize constancy and faithfulness.
