Description:
"May the act of hanging a crane symbolise our support in peace and hope, honouring Sadako's legacy".
-Short Story.
The story of Sadako follows a young girl who became very ill from the atomic effects of WWII. Bedridden in hospital, her determination and spirit gave life to an ancient legend that promised anyone who folded a thousand origami cranes would be granted one wish. It was Sadako's desire to hope for good luck, long life, peace and recovery from her illness.
On the 25th of October 1955, Sadako passed surrounded by loved ones and family. Although Sadako's thousand paper cranes did not save her life, they would take flight in another way, serving as a symbol of the growing movement for peace on Earth.
Each year, children and adults from all over the world travel to the Children's Peace Monument in Japan, hanging their own folded paper cranes as a gift to Sadako's memory and as a symbol of their desire for peace.
Each Box has been individually hand made in Melbourne with much love and care, the story of Sadako is written on the box to enable you to pass on Sadako's beautiful story.
Before passing Sadako wrote on one of her cranes "I will write 'peace' on your wings and you will fly all over the world."
