What people say
In their own words.
A wedding at the Japanese gardens
★★★★★“Thank you so much for helping to make my daughter's wedding absolutely perfect!! The paper cranes were a huge hit, and the perfect compliment to her celebration at the Japanese gardens. You were truly a pleasure to work with, and I could not be more pleased with our cranes!! From the way you went out of your way to get special patterns to match her wedding theme colors, to making sure we had them on time (all the way from Japan!!), to the quality of the packing and the cranes themselves - flawless!! Thanks again for everything.”
“I love the minimal use of plastic in packaging, opting to wrap in recycled fabric. The little gifts were definitely icing on the cake. Thank you so very much Rui! I love everything!”
“the item was shipped in time from Japan. We experiences big delays with the USPS delivery system, but the seller was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. Would buy from her again!”
Made by hand in Japan
Folded one at a time, in a small studio.
We work with Japanese washi and yuzen papers, folding each crane by hand and finishing the ones that need it with mizuhiki cord. No crane is die-cut or machine-pressed, which is why colors and papers change with what we can source.
