The 1000 cranes
MI CRANE:
Sadako Sasaki was two years old when the bomb fell on Hiroshima, a city he lived. Nine years later, as a result of irradiation, was diagnosed with leukemia.
Admitted to hospital, was dedicated with great enthusiasm to perform, one after another paper cranes. According to Japanese tradition, if it reached to create a thousand, it would fulfill his desire and improve their disease. Died
in October 1955 after having folded 644 paper cranes. Symbolically, his friends continued their mission and completed a thousand cranes, hoping to avoid future wars and built in the Peace Park in Hiroshima, a monument to Sadako and her cranes.
Each year, on August 6, Peace Day, thousands of paper cranes to Hiroshima, from the most remote planet. The children of the city hanging cranes Sadako's monument, with the hope of passing this message around the world.
