Unisex hooded sweatshirt - 1000 CRANES ON LA RHUNE

1,000 cranes on La Rhune, inspired by Hokusai's prints and a Japanese legend: the legend of the 1,000 cranes.

This legend says that whoever manages to fold 1,000 paper cranes will have their wish granted. Since the crane is a symbol of longevity, a prayer must be made with each completed crane. This can be a collective or individual activity, but it is said that the more people who contributed to the garland, the stronger its impact will be. The origami crane is also a powerful symbol of peace.

Why this flight over a sketch of La Rhune?

La Rhune, Larrun in Euskara, is a well-known peak in the Basque Country, crossed by the French-Spanish border, which is also the border between the Basque provinces of Labourd and Lower Navarre. This small, highly touristy mountain is also a symbol for me of the important place Nature holds and its fragile beauty in the Basque Country.

In an ever more confusing world, a threatened Nature, and relative Peace, I wanted to represent a small breath of poetry, and even though there aren't 1,000 cranes in my drawing, having it printed as a series and seeing it worn symbolizes for me my small prayer for tomorrow.
