Magic of Origami
Sadako Sasaki- a twelve year old Japanese girl was suffering from leukemia due to radiation produced by atomic bombing on Hiroshima on 6th August, 1945.
It is a belief in Japan that if any person makes 1000 paper cranes (“senbazuru”), god grants him/her a wish.
She decided to make 1000 paper cranes and wished for world peace.
But unfortunately, she passed away after making 644 paper cranes.
Her friends and family members decided to make all thousand cranes in her honour. She was buried with all thousand cranes.
In her memory, Japanese Government has developed her statue in Hiroshima Peace Park.
