Where the Pen Leads: Origami Crane -- a quiet reflection from Episode 1

This video follows the Torii drawing as a creative continuation. First, you’ll see how to create flowing red pencil patterns on a simple sheet of printer paper—no special origami paper needed. Then, watch as the paper is folded into the well-known origami crane, one of the most famous traditional folds in Japanese culture. Along the way, enjoy a brief story about the origins of the Torii, including the myth of Amaterasu Ōmikami, the heavenly cave (Iwato), and the birds said to perch on sacred trees. Take a moment to appreciate this cultural journey through Japanese tradition and art. ⏱ Origami folding starts at: Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:57 Drawing the Pattern 4:10 Origami Folding 11:31 Outro #artforrelaxation #pendrawings #zendrawing #stressrelief #calmingart #mindfulness #meditationart #origamitutorial #relaxingart #japaneseart #peacefulart #origami #tsuru #japaneseculture #WherethePenLeads #artandcraft
