The story of the folding of the thousand Cranes is wonderful and I have read several entrees for today’s prompt with the same theme … that story is great and in a way very much in touch with our haiku-blog, because haiku is a very ancient poetry form and will be there for sure the coming thousand years 🙂

The first time I ever saw origami cranes was at Manzanar National Historic Site, one of our infamous concentration camps for Japanese-Americans during World War II. There’s a cemetery at the site, and the memorial cenotaph in the center is festooned with chains of colorful origami cranes.
