Thousand Cranes Club

Cranes appear in the founding legends of onsen across Japan, said to lead people to hidden hot springs by returning to their waters to heal.
A thousand folded paper cranes are said to grant a wish, and so become a founding story of our own.
Yū is gathering 1,000 founding supporters to bring Japanese-style communal bathing to Britain.
