Tsuru, the Japanese word for crane, is among the oldest origami forms folded from a single, uncut square of paper. Images and references to this iconic design date back to the Edo period in Japan, 1603 to 1868. The crane has become a symbol of peace around the world, and folding cranes continues to be an inspirational experience for many. “To me, the cranes in this sculpture represent many generations helping one another find joy and peace,” Box says. “They are lifting each other up and, in all directions, spreading peace into the world.”
