Origami is one art that a lot of people think of when it comes to Japan. Out of those, paper crane is a classic.
Legend has it that if you fold 1000 paper cranes, your wish would come true.

These dancing cranes are created by "ugoita", a group of ordinary guys who gather during weekends to create things like this. To create this, it took them a total of 50 hours of discussion, and about 4 months to actually make it. They even made the music themselves!
