Summary

Description
English: Senbazuru (千羽鶴) - or 1000 cranes. Japanese school children dedicate a collection of paper origami cranes they are delivering to the memorial for Sadako Sasaki in Hiroshima Peace Park. Sadako Sasaki died of Leukemia at the age of 12 as a result of radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Before dying, Sadako folded 644 paper cranes after hearing the Japanese legend that folding 1000 cranes would cause the gods to grant her a wish. Today school children all over Japan (not to mention the world) continue to fold paper cranes and send them to her monument in a universal wish for peace. The crane is also an Asian symbol of longevity. Keywords: senbazuru, 1000 cranes, origami, Sadako Sasaki, peace, Hiroshima.
