1,000 paper cranes folded by both the parents and students of our 4th grade class. Paper cranes are installed on a 30x40" shadowbox. The traits of peace, nobility, loyalty, truth, longevity, and superior service are cornerstones to the philosphy of 1,000 cranes. There is also a saying that the person that receives the 1,000 cranes is granted a wish. In Japanese, the folding of 1,000 cranes is called Senbazuru.
