♥ to japan with love.

call it a coincidence, but my friend amie recently told me about the magical

significance behind folding 1,001 paper cranes. (which you can read about here.)

according to japanese tradition, these origami birds are folded en masse

for the purpose of granting a wish of long life and prosperity to the

person who folds them.

1,001 paper cranes are often made for weddings, baby showers,

and to this day serve as a true symbol of world peace.

this week online store, this paper ship is offering two gorgeous

posters, which represent the beauty and dear wish of hope

for the devastated country- with 90% of the proceeds

going toward the american red cross.

in the light of so much tragedy, it is amazing to see so many

artists donating their time and money to such an important cause.
