But many people in North-Eastern Japan are still staying in the shelters (many places don’t have electricity).
More than 8500 people are dead, about 13000 people are still missing. Now they are facing a Nuclear disaster…
I am still worried about Japan.

Here is an excerpt: This is a cute little book, containing Akiko Ishikawa’s bird creations – and a bat.
The models are simple to fold, the diagrams are delightful, hand drawn in full color, and a the end of the book are some notes and tips for assembling a “Senbazuru” – 1,000 cranes.

The book’s best audience will be children and origami beginners.
