To understand more about the dress and the symbology of folding 1,000 cranes, please read below.
The Red-crowned Crane is an iconic bird in Japan found in symbolic form in many contexts and the colors I chose for this dress represent that bird.
Senbazuru literally means 1,000 cranes and refers not to the wild creature, but to its delicate replication in paper, in origami.
Japanese lore claims the crane is one of three holy creatures that can live for 1,000 years. After folding 1,000 origami paper cranes, one for each year of its life, the majestic "bird of happiness" is able to carry that person's prayers to heaven. Senbazuru has been an integral part of the culture for centuries.
Japanese Americans have adopted the Senbazuru into their wedding celebrations as a way to bestow blessings for a long, harmonious marriage.
Professional crane makers spend at least two months on one project while novice brides report investing more than 100 hours over six months.
Red: Endless Love
White: Purity of Heart
