I came upon thousands of these garlands of hand-folded paper cranes while walking the grounds of Kyoto’s historic Fushimi Inari Shrine - they were beautiful both in their vibrant colors and in the knowledge that someone sat down and took the time to make each one.

This collection of 5x7 folded cards features vibrant photographs of these delicate paper cranes, an enduring symbol of peace and good fortune in Japanese culture.

This Stationery Set makes a beautiful gift for lovers of Japanese culture, art enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of handwritten correspondence.
