Mary Kate and I enjoyed the ancient Japanese art of origami tonight. Specifically, we made paper cranes. While in Memphis last week, Stanley and I saw the traveling exhibit from the Children's Peace Monument in Hiroshima, Japan, and heard a speaker about the paper crane project. An ancient Japanese children's story says that if you make 1000 paper cranes and fill each one with a wish, after the 1000th crane, the wish will come true. The Children's Peace Monument in Japan has thousands of chains of paper cranes sent from children from all over the world. Mary Kate and I made our own paper cranes. I'll scan the instructions and share here. Maybe we'll make a few chains and send them to the Project.
