DID YOU KNOW? In Japanese culture, the crane (Tsuru) is a highly significant symbol associated with good fortune, longevity, loyalty, and peace. The tradition of folding one thousand origami cranes (senbazuru) is believed to grant a wish for health or a long life, a symbol popularized by the story of Sadako Sasaki, a child survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing.
Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who became a victim of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by the United States of America. She was two years of age when the bombs were dropped and she was severely irradiated.
