Derek Seribu Origami ( ??? , Senbazuru ) is a group of thousand origami paper cranes ( ?? , orizuru ) united with string. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be given hope by the gods. Some stories believe you are given eternal happiness and fortune, not just one wish, such as longevity or recovery from illness or injury. This makes them a popular gift for friends and family special. Crane in Japan is either a mystical or sacred creature (others including dragons and turtles) and is said to live for a thousand years: That is why 1000 cranes are made, one for each year. In some stories, it is believed that 1000 cranes must be completed within a year and everything should be made by the person making the wishes at the end.

Makna budaya
A thousand paper cranes are often given to someone who is often severely ill, to expect his recovery. They are often made by friends/colleagues as collective efforts. Another common use is for sports teams or athletes, hoping they win. Cranes are a symbol of peace, and are thus often seen in places like war memorials or atomic bomb warnings.
Several temples, including some in Tokyo and Hiroshima, have an eternal fire for world peace. In these temples, school groups or individuals often donate senbazuru to add prayers for peace. The cranes are left exposed to the elements, slowly dissolving and becoming tattered as the desire is released. In this way they are associated with Indian and Tibetan prayer flags.
Japan's JAXA space agency uses 1000 cranes as one test for potential astronauts.
Sadako Sasaki
A thousand hero origami was popularized through the story of Sadako Sasaki, a two-year-old Japanese girl when she was exposed to radiation from the Hiroshima atomic bomb during World War II. Sasaki soon developed leukemia and, at the age of 12 after spending a lot of time in the hospital, began making origami cranes with the goal of making a thousand, inspired by the legend of senbazuru. In the fictional version of the story told in the book of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Catch he only folded 644 before he became too weak to fold again, and died on October 25, 1955; in his honor, his classmates felt empathy and agreed to finish the rest for him. In a version of the story told by his family and classmates, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum states that he completed 1,000 cranes and proceeded when his wishes did not materialize. There is a statue of Sadako holding a crane in the Hiroshima Peace Park, and every year on Obon's day, people leave the crane in the statue to commemorate the spirits of their deceased ancestors.

Materials
The origami paper set is widely sold in Japan, with the senbazuru set including 1000 (or more, in case of mistakes) sheets of paper, string, and beads to be placed at the end of each string to stop the crane from slipping. Generally the cranes are strung together into 25 strings of 40 cranes each.
The size of origami paper is not a problem when assembling a thousand paper cranes, but smaller sheets consequently produce smaller and lighter cranes. The most popular size for senbazuru is 7.5 x 7.5 cm (3.0 inches 3.0 inches). Some people cut their own paper boxes from whatever is available, such as magazines, newspapers, notebooks, and printer papers.
The origami paper used for senbazuru is usually solid colored, although mold design is available. Larger origami paper sizes, usually 6x6 inches, often have traditional Japanese designs or flowers, reminiscent of kimono patterns.
