A symbol of hope, happiness and eternal youth.

The crane is one of the most mystical and holy creatures in Japan (besides dragons) and is said to live for a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes, one for each year of the crane's life, will be granted one wish.

1000 Cranes was inspired by the art of paper folding and produced by the team at Riffle Shuffle. With versions depicted in vibrant red, blue and yellow colour-ways, 1000 Cranes is a completely custom deck of cards that, true to tradition, aims to warm hearts and bring joy and well-being through the most testing of times.
