The term orizuru means "paper crane". It is the most iconic figure in Japanese origami. This bird folding is a symbol of peace, longevity, and happiness in Japan. The tradition of senbazuru involves folding a thousand cranes (1000 orizuru) in the hope of having a wish granted, often associated with healing or a long life.
Our story
At orizuru, each creation is the fruit of artisanal craftsmanship. We select the finest Japanese papers to bring to life animals, mythical creatures, and traditional Japanese models.
Our pieces are hand-folded in our workshop in Switzerland, with patience and precision. Each origami is unique: a poetic gift idea, an elegant decorative object, or an invitation to discover the ancient art of paper folding.
