History of the Origami Peace Crane
History of the Origami Peace Crane
The origami peace crane became a powerful symbol of world peace because of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who developed terminal cancer at age 11 due to radiation exposure from the Hiroshima bombing. While in the hospital, her father related to her the legend of the origami paper crane—those who fold 1,000 paper cranes are granted a wish. Sadako wished to be healed. She began folding paper cranes from whatever scraps of paper she could find. However, in the process of folding, her wish expanded to a desire for peace and healing for the whole world. Sadako died 3 months before turning 13 on October 25, 1955.

The world continues to desperately need peace. The social and political challenges we face can only be solved through active peacemaking efforts. We can help fulfill Sadako's wish for peace.
