1000 Paper Cranes


1000 Paper Cranes

We've been seeing these paper cranes stuck to the backs of street signs etc around Surry Hills.

Each one is numbered out of a 1,000 like a limited edition print. We thought that was a pretty cool idea.

But yesterday we saw this crane with text added - it seems like the artist is referencing the Sadoko story about the Japanese girl that makes a 1,000 origami cranes.

The text says:
1,000 paper cranes
to make a wish come true...
1,000 paper cranes
to cure a sickness...
A new sign of peace for the big city.
