Sadako's Cranes!! 26 MarchWe're very happy so many people are enjoying this project!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a new group(or project, even) to commemorate Sadako and her goal to make 1,000 origami cranes.
Sadako Sasaki was two around the time when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in August of 1945. She grew up strong and athletic. But at the age of 11, in 1955, while practicing for a race she became dizzy and fell. Soon after, she was diagnosed with Leukemia or "the atom bomb" disease.
Sadako's best friend told her about and old legend that said anyone who folds one thousand paper cranes will be granted one wish. She wanted to get well again so she could run again. She started working on the cranes and made as many as she could before dying on October 25, 1955 at the age of twelve.
The fact that she never gave up inspired her friends and classmates make a book of her letters and and build a monument for Sadako and all the other children killed by the atom bomb.
A statue of Sadako holding a crane was unveiled in 1958 in Hiroshima Peace Park. A wish by the children inscribed on the bottom of the statue reads:
"This is our cry, this is our prayer, peace in the world."
Today, people from all over the world make paper cranes and send them to the monument in Hiroshima.
BUT, our goal: get 1,000 pieces of art relating to paper cranes. So we need your help. Note us with a link or two to your photos, drawing, paintings, etc of paper cranes and we'll upload a small view here. There's tons of paper crane art on this site, so let's bring it together, right here on DeviantArt, for Sadako and other atom bomb children.
If you want to be a member, just watch the group.

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!
You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!
If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!
If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends
If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)
If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.
If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!
