Chef cut this crane with his knife on a paper for me.
The Japanese regard the crane as a symbol of good fortune and longevity.
Have you ever notice green plastic leaves place inside the box of take away sushi? Of course, presentation is always important for food severing. But the original idea is not just a decoration. It's commonly for the chef to use bamboo leaves instead of the plastic at the restaurant because bamboo leaves can be used as sterilizer for sushi. However, the bamboo leaves wouldn't stay fresh for long. Therefore a plastic leave is invented for delivery.
I like to take counter seat at the sushi restaurant because I can order what I want from the ingredients displayed in the glass case in front of me. Looking at the chef to make sushi is also an entertainment. Most chefs use their knife to cut different pattern on bamboo leaves for sushi bowl decorations.
