I had my articles corrected by a native teacher again this time. One of my classmates told me at the drinking party that I should write essays for Eiken, not using my past essays... Ah-ha! Now you know I've been cutting corners. I promise I will write a "fresh" essay next time.
If I were asked to send
just one thing representing my country to an international exhibition, I would send a folded paper crane. The skill required to make a paper crane symbolizes
Japanese dexterity.
Origami (paper folding) is
a unique
Japanese cultural phenomena.
Furthermore, origami is an excellent educational activity for children
throughout the world.
Most Japanese children learn how to
do origami at school
, and most Japanese people can make folded cranes. Origami is created by just folding
a square
piece of paper without
using glue or scissors. Some people think that Japanese are relatively
dexterous because they are taught this skill as children. This Japanese
dexterity must be related to
the craftsmanship of state-of-the-art technologies such as
LSI semiconductor, Light Emitting Diode, nano biology etc. A paper crane can
reveal this relationship
.Origami is the original Japanese art of folding paper into various attractive shapes
, such as birds, animals
, and flowers. Among them, the crane is a symbol of longevity and purity, it is
known as auspicious
shape by Japanese people. There is even
an old saying that a crane lives for one thousand years
, and a tortoise
, ten thousand. As a result,
Japanese people customarily make one thousand folded cranes and link them together by thread in order to give them to a sick person
wishing them a rapid recover. Only a paper crane can
communicate so much unique Japanese culture
.Origami is also a wonderful educational activity for children. In fact, origami is taught in many other countries, and is used to help teach geometry.
Also, it helps not only children
, but also
the elderly in prevent
ing aging problem
and dementia.
This is because they have to use
their hands carefully to
fold origami. I believe that origami should be introduced to many more countries all over the world.
You can learn
a variety of cultural activities
through a folded paper crane. You can
understand Japanese
dexterity,
unique culture, and its flexibility
in being accepted by many other countries
throughout the world.
For these reasons I would send a folded paper crane to an international exhibition.
