Last night just before I went to sleep was my first attempt to make an origami crane in many years. The crane was the 13th and the most difficult in a series of progressively difficult paper foldings that I began by making a yellow boat on Christmas Day, with the idea of attempting one folding each day.
My first attempt at folding the crane wasn't quite right, but it was close. I was tired. I photographed it and went to sleep.
Early this morning I learned that today, January 7, would have been the 76th birthday of Sadako Sasaki.
Just now, I made a second attempt and was successful.
