The Olympic and Paralympic Games are the world's largest festival of sports and peace.

In Chuo-ku, where the athlete's village, which is the center of the tournament, we will develop a "paper crane wave" to disseminate peace both domestically and internationally.

Origami Crane Wave is a hospitality initiative to pass paper cranes, a symbol of peace and Japanese culture, to those who visit Chuo-ku at the Tokyo 2020 Games.

After collecting paper cranes and packing them, they will be distributed to foreigners and other visitors at the time of the tournament.

In addition, we aim to spread efforts to fold cranes around the world through the paper cranes handed after the tournament, leading to permanent peace in the world.

Why don't you become a member of the Tokyo 2020 Games through the paper crane wave?

We look forward to your participation!

①　Prepare paper for folding paper cranes.

Paper can be 15cm x 15cm in size.

Origami at home and familiar paper are also available.

※　Do not use paper that is labeled for commercial or specific claims.

②　Fold a paper crane.

③　Put it in the collection box.

Collection boxes are installed at the main building of Chuo-ku government office, Nihonbashi special branch office, and Tsukishima special branch office.

①　Bags have been packed since January 2020.

We will recruit volunteers and pack paper cranes.

②　Distribution from July to September 2020.

We will distribute paper cranes to people visiting Chuo-ku from Japan and overseas.

According to what I heard, paper crane collection boxes are also installed on the floors of each post office in Chuo-ku.

So Rosmari folded three cranes during a short waiting time at Nihonbashi Ningyocho Post Office here at 1-chome Nihonbashi Ningyocho.

This is because origami was prepared beside the collection box.

In addition, 5 pieces of origami are taken home...

I folded five paper cranes.

Later, there was another errand at the post office, so please visit ...

We added 5 additional birds.

・・・ By folding a crane in your spare time, you can easily participate in the Tokyo 2020 Games.

If it is convenient, I would like to apply for a “bag-packing” volunteer after January next year.

It is the second floor of the main building of Chuo-ku government office.

As of the end of October, 79,472 paper cranes are gathered.

The paper crane collection box of the main government building of Chuo-ku government office was located on the right end of the first floor.

Here is also one bird.

On the table on the left, paper crane wave original origami was prepared.

We also visited the Nihonbashi Special Branch Office.

It is on the first floor of Nihonbashi Kumin Center in 1-chome Kakigaracho.

The paper crane collection box was on the right after entering the entrance.

Once again, I put one bird here.

And there were 5 kinds of original origami here, so take it home ...

I also folded five original origami.

It was a little smaller than ordinary origami, so it became a little small paper crane.

I felt it was easy to fold because there was a line.

And if they were broken, the pattern would be properly determined.

This paper crane will also be put into the collection box at a later date.
