Old Man River’s 1,000 Cranes For Japan

In light of the recent disaster in Japan, Ohad Rein (AKA Old Man River) is showing his support to the people of Japan by personally folding and delivering 1,000 origami paper cranes. In a symbolic gesture, using one of their own beautiful traditions he hopes to generate awareness and funds for Japanese Relief appeal.

His past success in Japan during 2008/09 allowed Ohad to make many personal friends. Like all of us, he was deeply affected by the sights we witnessed and the stories told of the plight of the Japanese in the aftermath of the earthquake.
