The Legend of the Paper Crane

Mazda's storytelling site has published a feature tracing the legend of the paper crane, the folded bird that in Japanese tradition is said to grant a wish to whoever folds a thousand of them. The piece explores the crane's place in Japanese culture, its association with peace after Hiroshima, and how the folding tradition continues today. Readers are drawn to the blend of folklore, craftsmanship and history behind a simple sheet of paper.

Why now: Readers are drawn to a well-told cultural story about origami, folklore and peace that resurfaced on a popular link aggregator.
