Is there a world record for making paper cranes?
It's said that if you fold 1 thousand paper cranes in a year you get a wish. By february I had 245 done....so I quit. lol
Yes! To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima, two hundred thousand folded paper cranes were completed by December 15th 1995. Each crane had someone's name and peace message written on it. The intention is to preserve them to hand on to the 21st century. The event was sponsored by the Hiroshima International Cultural Foundation. There are other cool facts at the website below like the world's largest paper crane, most cranes in one hour, etc.
I would love to find out and compare it to the commercial where the girl is in the bathroom making toliet paper cranes. Since it's not published online - you'd have to find someone with a new copy of Guinness World Records
