Paper Crane and Cherry Blossoms

Posted on June 15, 2018November 22, 2025 by Dan Tabata

In Japanese culture, the crane symbolizes longevity and good fortune, while cherry blossoms represent the ephemeral nature of life.

I recently rediscovered some stylized cherry blossom (sakura) art that I had drawn a couple years ago. These flowers felt like a natural compliment to my previous paper crane (orizuru) drawing.

I revisited my original paper crane drawing by refining the scanned image and adding the cherry blossoms to a purple background.

Paper Crane

Posted on January 19, 2018November 22, 2025 by Dan Tabata

The paper crane (orizuru) is a classic Japanese origami design. This illustration began as a February 2017 pen and ink drawing of my hand-folded paper crane. The drawing was scanned at 1200 dpi and digitally colored in Photoshop.
