Thousand #Origami #Cranes #千羽鶴 is a group of one #thousandorigamicranes #折鶴 held together by #strings. An #ancient #Japanese #legend promises that anyone who #folds a thousand origami cranes will be #granted a #wish by the #gods. Some stories believe you are granted #happiness and #eternalgoodluck, instead of just #onewish, such as #longlife or #recovery from illness or injury. This makes them #populargifts for special #friends and #family. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the #dragon and the #tortoise) and is said to live for a #thousandyears: That is why #1000 cranes are made, one for each year. In some stories it is believed that the 1000 cranes must be completed within #oneyear and they must all be made by the person who is to make the wish at the end. Cranes that are made by that person and given away to another aren't included: All cranes must be kept by the person wishing at the end. #torii #kyoto #japan (at Fushimi Inari-taisha)
