Japanese Crane

The Japanese crane, known for its slender, elegant figure, is a member of the crane family. It its considered to be most beautiful when it spreads open its long wings. In Japan, the Japanese crane, inhabits the eastern regions of the northern island of Hokkaido. After a drastic decrease in its numbers after World War II, various preservation efforts have led to a recovery of the Japanese crane population in recent years.
The Japanese crane has been given an endangered species rating of 2 (Vulnerable) in the Red Data Book, a Japanese version of the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Animals. We have now re-created the beautiful figure of this Japanese crane as a paper craft model. Why not download your own copy now.
