SHOWERS OF LOVE (留心语) was created to allow family members to perform a final act of service for their dearly departed. Incorporating western philosophies with eastern cultural practices, we have chosen the art of origami, specifically the paper crane to help families express themselves in times of grief. The orizuru (折鹤 ori - folded, tsuru - crane), or paper crane, is a design that is considered to be the most classic of all Japanese origami It is believed that cranes are harbingers of eternal rest and they guide souls towards the Light. The souls of the dearly departed were believed to be carried up to paradise on the wings of the crane.
