Back where it comes from this tradition, it is a story, although very sad, beautiful:
Las Mil grullas de origami (千羽鶴 Senbadzuru ) son un compendio de mil grullas de origami unidas por cuerdas.
Una antigua leyenda japonesa promete que cualquiera que haga mil grullas de papel recibirá un deseo de parte de una grulla, tal como una vida larga o la recuperación de una enfermedad.
Las mil grullas de origami se han vuelto un símbolo de paz, debido a la historia de Sadako Sasaki (1943-1955), una pequeña niña japonesa que deseó curarse de su enfermedad producida por la radiación de una bomba atómica (leucemia).
Sadako Sasaki (佐 々 木 祯 子 Sasaki Sadako), January 7, 1943 - October 25, 1955) was a young woman who lived near the bridge Misasa in Hiroshima (Japan). On August 6, 1945 was only two years when the United States detonated two atomic bombs on civilians. At the time of the explosion was at home, which was 1.5 km from ground zero of the blast. Nine years later, Sadako was a strong girl, athletic and energetic. While running a race, began to feel ill and collapsed. He was diagnosed with leukemia, known as "the A-bomb disease."
Her best friend, Chizuko Hamamoto, he recalled an old tradition about someone who made a thousand cranes in the form of figures of paper (origami) and as a result the gods granted a wish. With his own hands, Chizuko gave the first crane you made in gold paper and said, 'Here's your first crane. " Sadako hoped that the gods grant him the desire to return to run again. Shortly after starting his work met a child who was very little time for the same cause, leukemia, encouraged him to do the same to her with the cranes but the boy replied, "I know I'll die tonight '.
Sadako did not think it fair to ask the only cure for her, and asked that the effort was going to serve to bring peace and healing to all victims of the world.
With the role of medicinal and other boat that was found was to complete 644 paper cranes. The progression of the disease prevented just completed the task, died on October 25, 1955 (at 12 years old) after 14 months of hospital admission. His classmates, after his death, came to complete the number, giving the cranes that missed to make up to 1,000. The
classmates and friends thought to dedicate a monument which would represent Sadako holding a golden crane in her hand, also dedicated to all children who died because of the two atomic bombs.
And finally, in the Peace Park in Hiroshima was built the statue of Sadako in 1958, the base is written "This is our cry, this is our prayer: peace in the world '. The story was so shocking that transcended the boundaries of Japan, becoming a world leader in the peace movement.
