We hope to spread the message of peace enclosed in these origami cranes around the world, inspiring more people to have kind hearts for peace.

<*Oirzuru recycled paper>
After being stored for a certain period of time, orizuru paper cranes sent to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park are brought to Sheltered workshops etc. There, the cranes are unfolded one by one, sorted by color, and dissolved in water to be reborn.
The orizuru crane recycled paper, with colorful fragments scattered evenly throughout, is filled with thoughts of peace and a wish to connect to the next generation.
