I'm researchign for this demonstration speech on origami and uncovered a legen that says in the Japenese custom if you fold 1000paper cranes you are granted a wish. Just wondering, has anyoen ever tried this? and the outcome?I'm goign to do it this weekend!
i've got faith it too. you purely make one thousand paper cranes, and that i think of that purely the sufferer of the ailment is meant to make it. Oh yea, and you carry the cranes around the sufferer. this is style of irrelevant, yet once I study a e book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. it quite is a few lady who tries to make one thousand paper cranes with the intention to get cured. it quite is particularly unhappy, yet it quite is the place i'm getting my data from.
There are many stories of this, who is to say if they are true or not. A young girl dying of cancer folded 1000 paper cranes and she miraculously recovered. I don't think it is like a I really hope Jimmy takes me to the prom!! type wishing though. It is a nice thought nonetheless. . . .
During my lifetime I have made, perhaps, a thousand origami boulders. Nothing magical came of it. I rather suspect that you'll find yourself using up 1000 sheets of paper and ending up with 1000 paper birds. Have a nice weekend.
my daughter's art club did this for a hospital not to long ago...they made 1300 paper cranes and hung them from the ceiling in one of the hospital wings. I don't know about being granted one wish, but it made the patients happy and smile no matter how sick they were. I've heard the paper crane was some how connected with leukemia, so she made one for a friend of mine's son (he is only 7 and has battled this disease for 2 years) and it made him happy to know that someone who doesn't know him would make something like that for him.
Yes, it is true. My sister-in-law folded 1000 golden cranes (with some help), when she married my brother. They had them mounted in the shape of a crane and framed. It was beautiful.
