While riding the bus to work one day, I watched a woman fold a small crane out of paper. When we got to her stop, she left the crane on the windowsill for a stranger to find.Another time at a tea house in Seoul, there were hundreds of tiny, colorful paper cranes pinned to the ceiling.
At work, from time to time, one of my younger students will fold me a tiny paper crane as a small gift.
I decided it was time to research the significance of the crane in Asian culture, and I liked what I found. The crane represents a lasting soaring spirit, health, and happiness. They also symbolize good fortune and longevity.
