>In these times of war, and horrors like the Virginia Tech killings, our 
>need for peace is more important than ever. The evening of Wednesday, May 
>2, 2007, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. will be a very special one at Japan 
>House.  Members of our Cultural Enrichment Volunteer Group, students from 
>the Peace Over a Bowl of Tea Group, and all others who wish to attend, will 
>come together to talk about the need for peace in this world and within 
>ourselves, while folding cranes for peace.  Professor Gunji will conclude 
>the evening by serving all a bowl of tea.
>
>It is a Japanese legend that upon folding 1000 cranes (senbazuru) the 
>folder is granted a wish. People from around the world have long sent 
>origami cranes to Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan as a symbol and 
>wish for peace.  Professor Gunji will be leading a Intercultural Study 
>Tour, sponsored by the Campus Honors Program, to Japan on May 21st and will 
>bring the cranes to Peace Memorial Park.  Each crane will include the name 
>of the folder and any wishes they want to include.
>
>The Japan House Cultural Enrichment Volunteer Group is a group of current 
>and prospective Japan House volunteers who meet monthly during the academic 
>year for presentations of Japanese culture and the chance to drink tea and 
>share good conversation.  The Peace Over a Bowl of Tea Group is a new group 
>consisting of Campus Honors students that meets monthly.
>
>No experience in origami is needed, only the desire to join us in wishing 
>for peace.   We also invite school groups, other groups, and individuals to 
>contribute cranes (please contact Japan House for necessary details). Call 
>(217) 244-9934 or email japanhouse at uiuc.edu for more information.

>Please forward this email to anyone you like, and of course just let me
