Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who lived in Hiroshima, in Japan. In August 1945, when she was two year's old, the atomic bomb was dropped about one mile away from her home. She and her family managed to escape, although her grandmother ran back to fetch something from their house and was never seen again. "I will write "peace" on your wings, and you will fly all over the world". Sadako had a normal childhood and was a very good runner. Her class, which won the school's relay race, was very proud of her running skills. But it was during a running race that she first fell ill, when she was 11 year's old. Sadako is in the middle of the front row When she was 12, in 1955, her illness became worse and she was diagnosed with leukaemia, a cancer which affected many children who had been exposed to radiation because of the atom bomb. Her family was told that she would have less than one year to live, and as she grew more ill she was put into hospital. A friend told her about an old Japanese legend which says that if you fold 1000 origami cranes, you will be granted a wish. The crane is a Japanese symbol of long life (or longevity). Origami cranes are very beautiful, and fun to fold. You can learn how to fold an origami crane at Activity Village. Sadako started to fold her own cranes... She didn't always have origami paper, so she used whatever she could find - newspaper, medicine wrappings, and scraps of wrapping paper from get well gifts. She folded and folded. Some people say that she folded over 1000 cranes before she died, but others say she only managed to fold just over 600. We don't know what the truth is, but we do know that sadly Sadako didn't manage to fight off the terrible cancer. She never gave up and was courageous and cheerful to the end. In October 1955 she died, peacefully, in the hospital. In memory of Sadako... The children in her class were very sad, and decided to try to raise money for a special memorial for Sadako and other children who had died because of the atomic bomb. They wrote and published a book about Sadako, and they sent letters to schools all over Japan. It took them 3 years to raise enough money to build the Children's Peace Monument, in Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima. It has a statue of Sadako on the top, as well as an origami crane. At the bottom of the statue there is a plaque which has a message from the children, which reads: "This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world." The Children's Peace Monument was officially opened on Children's Day (5th May) 1958. Every year, thousands of children come to the memorial and leave their own folded origami cranes in memory of children who have died because of war, and as a prayer for peace. If you look carefully at the picture above you can see thousands of cranes protected by the white structures around the edge of the memorial. Strings of folded origami cranes - so pretty and colourful! There is also a statue of Sadako in Peace Park, Seattle, USA: Our Sadako Sasaki Activities

The Children's Peace Monument is also called the "Tower of Thousand Cranes," for many thousands of fold ed paper cranes are offered there all through the year. The origin of the three-legged monument (tower) can be traced back more than tow decades. On the twenty-fifth of October 1995, ten years after the end of the war, a first-year student at Nobori-cho Junior High School named Sadako Sasaki died of an A-bomb disease (leukemia) in the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital. Until the end she was hoping for recovery because of a popular belief which says that "folding a thousand paper cranes will bring good luck." The sudden outbreak of her A-bomb disease and her death have her classmates a great shock. They realized all the more keenly the horrer of the A-bomb. Because of this her classmartes decided to erect a monument to comfort Sadako's soul and to express their desire for peace. The idea spread and was supported by people all over Japan; this became a large movement so that finally the monument came into being. It was unveiled on Children's Day, May 5, 1958. The designer was the sponsor was the "Hiroshima Children and Students Association for the Creation of Peace." At the top of the 9-meter-high monument there is a bronze statue of a girl stretchinbg her arms up in the air and holding a golden crane, conveying hope for a peaceful futuer. Two statues, one on the right and one on the left side of the monument symbolize a boy, a girl, and bright hope. A bell, modeled after an ancient bronze bell, hangs inside the tower. It was contributed by Dr.Hideki Yukawa, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, who was much moved by the feelings of the boys and girls. A golden crane suspended from the bell creates the sound of a windbell. On the front Earth and in the Heavens" is written in Dr. Yukawa's handwriting. However, the bell and a golden crane are presently exhibited in the first-floor lobby of the east Building of the East Building of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Directly under the monument, the words "This is our cry. This is our prayer. For building peace in this world," written by a junior high school student, are carved on a blacd granite block. Students from over 3,100 schools in Japan as well as in England and nine other foreign countries contributed funds for the monument.
