Paper Crane
Origami. You must already know about it, right? An art of folding paper from Japan. And my favorite is making paper crane =)
They said, in Japan, if you make 1000 paper cranes, your wish will come true. There is a story about this paper crane. So after World War II, there was a girl named Sadako Sasaki who was suffering from leukemia because of bomb radiation in Hiroshima. She heard the legend about making 1000 thousand paper cranes. So she made it one by one by herself, so she can survive from the disease.
But, day after day, one by one, kids with the same disease like her died. And suddenly she changed her wish. She wished for a peace world where nobody suffering in it. And she died before she finish her 1000 paper crane. She just made about 600. And her friends continued her work and put 1000 paper crane on her funeral.
It’s sad story, isn’t it? But, since then, paper crane became a symbol for peace as Sadako Sasaki’s wish.
Have you ever made one? Do you know how to make paper crane? I know paper crane for the very first time is when I was in Pittsburgh. My brother made it. Since a little, I like origami. I like folding paper. Then, in junior high, my teacher taught me again.
I wanted to make 1000 paper crane when I was in junior high. But, when I just made about 70, my maid throw it because she thought they were rubbish. I tried to make 1000 paper crane for festival with my seniors and my club when I was grade 10. But, the time was not enough.
Me and my friends made a lot of paper crane while we were in Japan. It’s so much fun. And now, I want to make 1000 paper crane again. The photo of paper crane and hand, that is my handmade. And my hand. Hahaha. Okay then, gotta go, have to do my homework for tomorrow! Thanks for reading my post hehe.
Bye bye and see ya’!
