Origami

Origami is the art of paper folding. In class, we will make a crane, which represents good luck and health. As the story goes, if you fold 1,000 cranes, you will be granted a wish. The Japanese sometimes string together long chains of origami cranes as seen here or here. The legend of Sadako is probably the most famous; you can find the full story here.
