As we all know, after the origami craft was introduced to Japan from my country, paper art has also developed relatively well in Japan. But at first, paper art was only an entertainment and craft activity enjoyed by Japans upper class. As the price of paper dropped and the techniques were passed down, Japanese folk paper art also flourished. Particularly famous among Japanese paper arts is the folding of paper cranes. In 1797, the monk Yoshitsune of Kuwana-joenji Temple in Mie Prefecture wrote the worlds first origami book, "The Secret Thousand-Feathered Crane Origami" and published it. Today I would like to offer you a treasured photocopy of the "Secret Thousand Feathered Crane Origami"!
