In the anime movie called "Wolf Children : Ame and Yuki" (狼子供の雨と雪) directed by Mamoru Hosoda, at 33:08 minutes, we can see the traditional crane as a decoration on the ground glass panel of a piece of furniture. There are three of them, disposed as if heading left.
I don't know whether it's a hint towards origami or towards the Monument to Sadako Sasaki. Pretty ornament though. You can see a screen capture here : http://pliagedepapier.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=12016&pid=12755 All the best, Claire
