Origami Tsuru: A Symbol of Peace, Hope, and Resilience
Origami tsuru, also known as the Japanese paper crane, is the art of folding paper into a representation of a crane, a bird revered in Japanese culture for its elegance, longevity, and good fortune. A single folded origami crane is often gifted as a symbol of peace, while a thousand origami cranes strung together, known as senbazuru, represent hope and remembrance.
