(It's my first post on 4chan, let me know if I do something bad)
Have you heard of a legend about 1000 of paper cranes? People say if you make 1000 of them, your wish can get granted. So, for the sake of my wish I decided to try. I have over 100 cranes, but I rarely have time to make more, so I'm trying. Have a nice night, byeee!

I like folding cranes too, I actually prob have ~600 of them in a big container for display, but honestly I think you'd get a lot more out of the hobby if you looked around some website like origami-club and played around with folding different basic models. It depends on if you have any deeper interest or simply just enjoy folding birds

Sounds like pagan demonic ritual.

I folded 1000 about five years ago. My wish did come true in the end, but it took two more years to manifest. Just a heads up.

It's pretty much the only thing I can do without reference. I fold and leave them about places. My third one is still my favourite, a little purple flower print thing that looks somehow jaunty. They're always slightly uneven though. I hate that.

Brother... it's something they tell kids in order to train them to be patient and occupy themselves. The Japanese are not inherently ambitious people as individuals. Kid says, "I want X (or to be Y)," parents says, "that's nice, honey. Maybe go fold a thousand cranes for four months and it will come true"
