Paper Crane

Fold paper step by step into origami cranes. Each one flutters up to the string where your growing flock perches — toward a thousand, where a wish is said to be granted.

Fold Your First Crane

Try it live

Five folds make a crane — square, triangle, kite, bird base, crane. It then flies up to the string.

The folding ritual

Five taps, one crane
Each tap creases the paper — square to triangle to kite to bird base to crane — with a soft paper-rustle and a little pop as the fold lands.
A growing flock
Every crane gets its own pastel hue and perches on the string above. Tap a perched crane and it flaps once. The string sways gently as the flock grows.
Toward a thousand
Senbazuru — the legend says a thousand cranes grant a wish. The counter tracks your way there, and keeps count of how many you fold each day.
A quiet workspace
A dark desk, paper dust in the air, a string waiting for its flock — nothing else needed.
