THE PEACE CRANE PROJECT

: SADAKO AND THE THOUSAND PAPER CRANES

Sadako Sasaki inspired the world with her origami peace cranes. She folded thousands from her hospital bed before she tragically died from the long-term effects of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Sadako’s friends wanted to make sure that Sadako was remembered. They started collecting money to build a statue of her, including by writing to school head teachers asking them for a donation.                                                                                             

Some newspapers spread the word across the whole of Japan  In 1958, a statue of    Sadako was built in Hiroshima Peace Park . It is called the Children’s Peace  Monument.                                                                                                                               

At the bottom of the statue there is a plaque that says: ‘This is our Cry, this is our Prayer, Peace in the World .’                                                                                                                                           

   The Children's Peace Monument, with a figure  of Sadako Sasaki at the top of the statue, and a boy and a girl at the sides. The glass cases in the background contain paper cranes .
