"The crane lives for a thousand years" - an eternal wish engraved in the hearts of the Japanese people
As the saying goes, "A crane lives for a thousand years, a turtle for ten thousand years," the crane has long been loved in Japan as the ultimate symbol of longevity and good fortune. With its beautiful posture, graceful flight, and habit of mating for life, the crane has been revered as a sacred bird since ancient times, and is a special bird that has been used as a symbol of the Imperial family.
The deeper meaning of the cranes in hanging dolls
In hanging dolls, the crane represents the strongest wish for a child's long life and good health. But that's not all. Because of the habit of paired cranes staying together for life, it also carries the meaning of "May the child be blessed with a good partner and build a happy family." The image of the crane soaring high also expresses the parents' wish that "their child will succeed in life and live with high aspirations."
A deep connection with origami culture
Cranes also occupy a special place in Japanese origami culture. They are folded as a thousand paper cranes, expressing wishes for healing and peace, and have conveyed the Japanese spirit to the world. The thousand paper cranes dedicated to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park continue to convey to the world the horrors of war and wishes for peace. These handmade hanging crane dolls are also a symbol of the Japanese people's prayers and hopes for peace.
