During winter, the birds migrate to East-Central China and the Korean Peninsula. Resident populations are found in Hokkaido, Japan, while migratory populations nest and breed in Northeastern China, Northeastern Mongolia, and Siberia. There are both migratory and resident populations of the bird. However, efforts to raise them in captivity for release have failed. Over the years, the species has been studied and tracked. In 1982, there were about 1000 cranes in existence, with 300 of them residing in Japan. In the winters that followed, farmers continued feeding the birds, which led to a dramatic rise in their numbers. In the same year, Hokkaido was struck by a blizzard and severe cold, which prompted farmers to begin feeding them buckwheat and corn to help them survive. By 1952 the population had risen to 33 birds. In 1924, the area was designated as a protected area. Twenty birds were rediscovered in the 1920s in the Kushiro Wetland roosting and feeding near small rivers in the marsh.

The birds were indiscriminately hunted from the Edo period (1603 to 1867) to the early 20th century.

The species was thought to have disappeared in the 20th century due to overhunting and habitat destruction. Today there are about 2,750 members of the species that survive in the wild. Until the mid-1800s, Japanese cranes were found in abundance throughout Hokkaido and Honshu and other parts of Asia such as China, Korea, and Siberia. The Japanese crane, which is scientifically known as Grusjaponensis, is classified as endangered by the IUCN. The cranes are usually struck together on 25 strings with 40 cranes each and given to friends and family as gifts. Today folding 1,000 cranes (in Japanese, called “senbazuru”) has become extremely popular. Making a thousand origami cranes was, therefore, not easy for ordinary residents. The term “origami” comes from two Japanese words “ori” meaning “to fold” and “kami” meaning “paper.” While making origami cranes is not a difficult task, during the 6th century, when the origami culture is thought to have begun, the cost of paper was very high. It is also believed that if one completes folding 1000 origami cranes, one is granted one wish. As a result, in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese culture, the bird represents good fortune and longevity. The Japanese also believe that the crane carries the souls of the dead to paradise. The bird is also considered a sign of luck. In Japan, the crane is considered a “bird of happiness” that can live for a thousand years.
CRANE SONG PHOENIX I VS II PATCH
The bird gets its name from the distinct red patch that is found on its crown. PHOENIX II is an AAX plug-in for native and DSP that is designed to put analogue colour into the digital domain by increasing apparent loudness without increasing gain (e.g., by modelling analogue tape compression).The Japanese crane, also known as the red-crowned crane is one of the rarest cranes in the world.

CRANE SONG PHOENIX I VS II FULL
Luster starts more gently than the other four processes, but becomes as aggressive as Dark Essence when the process is at full scale.

(The effect is a colour with a wider frequency range-when used on a vocal Dark Essence can reduce sibilance problems by increasing the apparent loudness of the rest of the signal)
