75 years ago the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima killing 140,000 people.
It completely leveled 90% of the city.
The 1,000 origami cranes was a folkloric Japanese tradition, but it was popularized and spread throughout the world through the story of Sadako Sasaki. Sasaki was a Japanese girl that suffered radiation poisoning at the age of 2 when the atomic bomb was dropped at Hiroshima.
A thousand paper cranes are often given to a person who is seriously ill, to wish for their recovery. They are usually created by friends, classmates, or colleagues as a collective effort.
Sadako was folding these cranes while in hospital in the hopes to get better and her story of hope in the midst of tragedy inspired people all over the world.
Cranes are a symbol of peace, and the Hiroshima peace museum gets sent 1000’s of them from around the world.
In these crazy times when anxiety is high and it’s easy to let fear turn to division and hate for the other. We have to look back and learn from history. 🙏🏼 #mercywins #1000papercranes
