Paper Cranes

I got a story to tell through photographs soon...

I made 100 paper cranes and yet seems very little although each paper cranes wrote 10 sentences of the same wish....

A crane is considered auspicious in China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam. It is one of the symbols of longevity and is often represented with other symbols of long life, such as pine, bamboo, and the tortoise. Vietnamese people consider crane and dragon to be symbols of their culture. In feudal Japan the crane was protected by the ruling classes and fed by the peasants. When the feudal system was abolished in the Meiji era of the 19th century, the protection of cranes was lost. With effort they have been brought back from the brink of extinction. Japan has named one of their satellites tsuru (crane, the bird). According to tradition, if one folds 1000 origami cranes one's wish for health will be granted. Since the death of Sadako Sasaki this applies to a wish for peace as well.

Also, traditional Chinese 'heavenly swans' (tian-e) or 'blessed cranes' (xian-he) were messengers of wisdom. Legendary Taoist sages were transported between heavenly worlds on the backs of cranes.

Rumour has it there was a special crane in Tibet, who would answer the most difficult of life’s questions. Little is known of what became of this magical creature. Some legends state that it lives in an old pagoda, high upon a snowy mountain. Some legends say it grew old and died at peace with nature.

To me, actually I really don't know why i want to make paper crane with the wish that is not for health. Well, I just wish her that... she can rest in peace and free from pain.

Love you, mum.
