Hello.
It has been almost two years since the great earthquake and tsunami struck Japan.
Tsuru Project will gather again at on Sunday March 10 to make origami crane to send our prayers to Japan.
Please come join us to make tsuru for the second anniversary memorial for Japan.
We also would like to send our gratitude to everyone who has supported Japan from New York and all over the world.
Love,
Tsuru Project
(On March 20, 2011 – 9 days after earthquake. This was our start for Tsuru Project.)
(On March 11, 2012 – one year after earthquake. Many of our friends and families came by and made origami tsuru together.)
Thank you
How are you?
We have been a bit busy planning for some event in fall season.
We have finally scanned the messages written by people who joined us on March 11th this year.
They are absolutely beautiful.
We wanted to THANK YOU again.
Thank you so much for coming to our 311 memorial at McCarren park.
We were so moved and truly touched by your warm thoughts and messages to our country, Japan.
A year ago, 10 days after the earthquake hit Japan – we gathered this park and started to make origami tsuru. We were filled with sadness and loss and couldn’t do anything, but just to make origami tsuru together with praying for our families and homeland. That was our start, Tsuru Project.
This year, 3.11, was filled with everlasting love, smile and hope. Thank you, thank you very much for thinking of Japan and your messages. We are sending these messages to our country, and we will continue to keep sending our wishes and love.
LOVE, Tsuru Project
3.11.2012 One Year Memorial
２０１２年３月１１日 日曜日
あの日から１年
遠い海のむこう、NYはブルックリンで
１年前と同じ公園のベンチに、 久しぶりの鶴姫大集合
ポカポカ春の陽気におかめ桜もさきはじめ、素晴らしいピクニック日和の日曜日
すごく心温まるメモリアルがおくれました。
お日様も暖かくて、ニューヨーカーのみんなも暖かくて、
たくさんの人たちからの心からの応援エネルギーを吸収しました。
「日本をずっと見守っているよ！」
「日本人はすばらしくて、強い！がんばれ！」
１年目の祈りを込めた鶴を ニューヨーカーと一緒に折って
被災者の人たちに送るメッセージを書いてもらって
キラキラ風になびく、きれいな鶴ヅル
今年産まれた赤ちゃん（Kailash)も参加して
鶴犬（Rudy）も走り回って
おにぎりも食べてお誕生日もあって・・・・
去年はあんなに悲しくて、（今だって悲しいけど）みんなで泣きながら鶴を折ったけれど、
今日と言う日は言葉にできないくらい愛にあふれていた一日でした。
あらためて、わたしたち鶴姫らしく日本を想う一日であり、
また鶴プロジェクト２年目のハジマリでした！
まだまだ、復興への道はずっとつづきます。
でも、大丈夫
ずっと、ずっと、一緒にいます。
海のむこうの愛と祈りを、わたしたちのふるさとに、届け続けます。
春は必ず、忘れる事無く、巡ってくる
みんな、ありがとう
鶴プロジェクト NY 鶴姫一同より

Pictures from Tanabata Festival in New York!
On Aug 6th, we finally had our Tanabata Festival in New York at Tenri Gallery!
The event was great success and we are very pleased with turn out. We raised over $1000 to donate to Tenri Gallery, Ashinaga organization, and Mazenda Organization. Most importantly, we were happy that we were able to raise awareness to people about situation in Japan and of course the beauty of our culture.
Here are the pictures from the event!
Also one of our Tsuru member’s friend blogged about our event!

Tsuru in mailbox
It is really exciting to see tsuru sent by people in our mailbox!
Some are from friends from Tokyo and Hawaii. One of our Tsuru member is in Hawaii now and she has been spreading words about us and even having Tsuru workshop there!
Another wonderful thing is that somebody found us online and sent us 1000 cranes they used for their wedding:) They are really beautiful and neatly connected with string and beads.
It will all be part of our Tanabata event this Saturday!
