What is the Legend of the 1000 Cranes/Senbaruzu? 千羽鶴/せんばづる

 

Senbazuru, which translates to "1,000 cranes" in Japanese, is a longstanding tradition of folding one thousand origami paper cranes. In Japanese culture, the crane symbolizes longevity, happiness, and good fortune. Folding a thousand cranes is often undertaken as a prayer for someone who is ill to recover, or as a wish for personal happiness and good luck.

Our First Crane Recipient!

Even Superheros need love and kindness

Our first 1000 cranes will go to an incredible woman - a film executive who has been a champion for female and under-represented filmmakers. She is undergoing treatment for brain cancer and we are going to rally around her and deliver a small miracle in the spirit of Cecily's world - 1,000 ORIGAMI CRANES!
