Product details

A favor is usually eaten before the speeches, or left on the table. A bookmark goes home in a bag and into whatever your guest is reading next.

Each one is printed on heavy card stock, carries a Japanese kanji blessing with its meaning in English, and has a small crane folded by hand from a 7.5 cm square of washi. Choose it plain, or finished with a soft ivory tassel.

The blessings

  • 幸 Happiness — may happiness find you in every season you spend together
  • 愛 Love — love lives in the quiet hours you share
  • 縁 A meaningful bond — a tie drawn by chance and chosen by love
  • 和 Harmony — two hearts in tune, building a peaceful home
  • 結 Union — two lives woven into one story
  • 福 Blessing — may blessing rest on every small moment you share
  • 花 Bloom — may your love open, gently and often
  • 灯 Guiding light — the soft light that draws you together

If you would like particular blessings, or a particular balance across a set, write to us before you order and we will tell you what we can do.

Two styles

Without tassel — quiet and simple, the crane alone on the card.
With ivory tassel — finished with a soft ivory tassel, for a more formal gift.

Every crane is folded from Japanese patterned paper, and the patterns shift with what we have in the studio. For larger orders we compose a balanced, unfussy mix rather than repeating one design. If your wedding has a color direction — pink, red, blue, green, gold — tell us before you order and we will check what is on the shelf.

Personalization on the back is not part of this item.

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!”

Aileen · Etsy review, August 2025

“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!”
