Whats does the japanese crane symbolize?
The Japanese crane symbolizes serenity and hope. It is a legend in Japan that if you fold 1000 paper cranes, any wish will come true. There is a story about a girl named Sadako who died from radiation in Hiroshima after WWII who tried to fold 1000 paper cranes to be brought back to health. She nearly folded 1000, and died before then. People come to Hiroshima still today with 1000 folded paper cranes to honor Sadako.
