“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” ~Buddha
“Peace goes into the making of an origami crane as flour goes into the making of bread.” ~Pablo Neruda
Origami cranes were offered to visitors at the WTC Tribute Center to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Cranes are traditional paper birds from Japan. They symbolize peace, good health and longevity.

Please post this information wherever you might want.
Thank you for your visiting Origami Spirit.

Here is a box with 50 cranes I sent to Origami USA.
“tsuru origami” is the best way to describ meaning of” peace”.
I really consider AKIRA YOSHIZAWA as the best designer.
I hope that a new generation will find a spirt of this art.
