Japan Crisis Remembrance Memorial: Thousand Origami Cranes
Now through Apr. 19, 2011, from 8am-8pm
Matrix Gallery, 3rd floor, School of Education, W.W. Wright Bldg.
Contact: nwebber@indiana.edu
The Japanese Tradition of a Thousand Origami Cranes. The crane in Japan is a mystical or holy creature and is said to live for a thousand years. Ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds 1,000 origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. Our wish is recovery and healing from the crisis in Japan due to the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and the resulting nuclear power plant emergency. Join in creating cranes and adding them to the remembrance memorial for all who have been effected in this crisis. Instructions and paper are provided at the exhibit in the Matrix Gallery. Please feel free to make cranes on your own with your own paper and add them to the exhibit at any time.
