# Japanese post-rock band Mono wrote a song about that story
- it was the first time I'd heard about it, when I interviewed the band last year. They told such a touching tale it stuck in my mind. It's an album they did in 2004, I can't remember the title now.

# The title is
'Walking cloud and deep red sky, Flag fluttered and the sun shined."

No wonder I couldn't remember it.

Those rascally Japanese!

It's on Rykodisc. Great album.

# Ah my girlfriend and I
always leave paper cranes behind for one another, or post them under each others doors at uni- I should really do this for her, just dont tell her I got the idea from someone else!
