| Sadako was 2 years old when the US dropped the A-bomb over Hiroshima in 1945. In spring 1955 at age 11, like many other children she became sick and diagnosed with Leukemia, which people from Hiroshima called 'the A-Bomb disease'. She heard a story that if you fold a thousand paper cranes a wish is granted. She folded more than a thousand, but her wish to recover was not granted and she died in October that year at age 12. Three years later the 'Children's Peace Memorial' was erected in her name. | ||

One more thing R.I.P Sadako "O flock of heavenly cranes cover my child with your wings".Sadako may you be with the holy spirits your name liveth before us for evermore:( | ||

This is truly touching and i really admire the work Sadako did to fight for her life if only Kenji would have had hope he might have lived a longer life. | ||

Sadako was a great inspiration, from reading her stories she sounded so selfless. A loss that Sadako had to loose her life due to the conflict between countries.Taken at such a young age I send my love towards her extended family and friends. How evermany cranes Sadako made she taught us to put our all into living and make the most of our presious lives. Such a couragous life! xx R.I.P | ||

sadako was a great person that never got a chance in life and it wasn't good how it started but at least she got to see her family before she died | ||
Al M.Yates and Ana R. Mclartyin Georgia together / Thursday, 1st May 2008 | ||
Sadako inspires me to be the best peron i can be and i feel really bad for her since she never really got a chance to find anybody to care for her like a lover. I will always remember her from this day forward and will honor her in prayer. | ||
JacobEssex, England / Tuesday, 22nd April 2008 | ||
I forgot to say one last thing. She died at twelve along with many others. We here these stories time again. Yet we do nothing about it. She died a hero for something she was not guilty of. War! | ||
JacobEssex, England / Tuesday, 22nd April 2008 | ||
I wonder what would of happened if she had made all her cranes. An inspiration and hope to humanity that from such hatred and violence can come such beauty, pasion, and love. On thing was missing from the story, i believe the cranes were stuck on strings and as plants could not grow in the park out side her house, it was decorated in her cranes. And i think to this day as a memorial it is still covered in cranes. She is still alive in memory along with all those that had and would suffer from such a devastaating weapon. | ||
ashlyntexas / Monday, 21st April 2008 | ||
you are so brave you made so many cranes i can`t even make one bye | ||

Sadako Sasaki actually was unable to fold the 1000 cranes needed to receive her wish. Before she died, she successfully folded 644 cranes. After her death, her class folded the remaining 356 cranes needed to make the 1000. A couple of years after, the memorial was erected. | ||

I'm very sad about this unguilty girl Sadako Sasaki and she was 12 years ago her sickness cause her to death | ||
KaniaupioLas Vegas, NV. / Wednesday, 17th October 2007 | ||
I was so captivated and moved by this story that I sat down in tears for this young and courageous girl, Sadako. It's always sad to think of all the innocent, beautiful children's lives that are lost when our world leaders don't see eye to eye. Maybe if all the children around the world read this story of Sadako, it might have a lasting impact on them. There just might be hope someday for a peacefull world when they become our world leaders. Could it be that simple? | ||
Meliza CrandangOntario, Toronto / Tuesday, 16th October 2007 | ||

DanaTx / Friday, 6th April 2007 | ||
The information is NOT correct. Sadako made 644 paper cranes and died on October 25, 1955. | ||
SamHoustan,Texas / Saturday, 31st March 2007 | ||
The Picture is nice. But the caption should have more about the hope and courage she had. | ||
OliviaRolla , Missouri / Tuesday, 20th March 2007 | ||
You should put in a picture that shows the whole statue and then explian about the guy on the side of the staue was. thats what I'm searching up and I think that will be a great fact! | ||
OliviaRolla Missouri / Tuesday, 20th March 2007 | ||
I think this picture is really inspiring because can you fold 1000 cranes even if someone helps you. thats a lot of cranes no matter what anybody else thinks. From Olivia see yal | ||

Boyd Elem. 5th gradersAllen, TX / Tuesday, 23rd January 2007 | ||
This book was very special to all of us. It taught us that we can always show our emotions when reading. More people should read this book! It reminded us of people in our lives that have been sick, died or suffered. We learned how the Atom Bomb that was dropped on Japan caused leukemia. | ||
Garret-------------- / Tuesday, 16th January 2007 | ||
i love it so much i think it is very special because people who cared about her took as much time as possible to build this for a loved one it is very moving and it makes me feel very good. ever since i saw pictures of the monument i wanted to go there and this is the first picture that accually lets you see it very clearly i voted it fantastic! | ||

EmillieNew Mexico / Wednesday, 8th November 2006 | ||
Sorry,but Sadako die on November 7. | ||
Josephine lettermanAustralia / Saturday, 21st October 2006 | ||
I am sry to give a harsh comment but sadako's story is very inspirational and you shouldn't batter how she had so much hope for her life. When everything seemed to be falling apart for her she was able to make it a good thing. So i hope you grow up and stop being such a 12 year old on something so sensitive. It must've been hard for her to know she would probably die early with a disease she couldn't control. My opinion is that you are rude and inconsiderate of what she tried to accomplish in her death bed. | ||
Pheonix WilsonS.A/ Australia / Sunday, 8th October 2006 | ||
Who cares how many cranes she folded if it was only 644 cranes then too bad for her, if she folded over 1000 then the legend obliviosly didn't work and again too bad for her. besides i'm only interested in chinese war in about 200 A.D not reacent World wars... and FYI i'm only 12 also. | ||
KathrynAustralia / Sunday, 8th October 2006 | ||
Btw: It makes me more sad because my Grandfather (who is still alive in his 80's) was in the 2nd world war and was captured by the Japanese but set free l8er. | ||
KathrynAustralia / Sunday, 8th October 2006 | ||
I am only 12 myself and I had to learn about Sadako and the thousond paper cranes for my Japanese leason at school, but thinking about it alwaysmakes me think expesially because my age is the same as Sadako's when she died & because my grandmother has leukemia at the moment. :( | ||
mainemanila, philippines / Sunday, 1st October 2006 | ||
actually, i read sadako's story when i was in grade 3 or 4 (im in 2nd yr. now)i love her story so im here researching her autobiography. hehe. anyways, it encourages me to be strong everytime i read it. love it.godbless you all. | ||
VictoriaNew zealand / Monday, 11th September 2006 | ||
I like paper cranes.When ever I see them i think of sadako. | ||
LexiNew Zealand / Monday, 11th September 2006 | ||
I have been to Japan twice and have dedicated my cranes to Sadako in Hiroshima. We are now basing our school production on Sadako and her fight for peace. | ||
DominiqueColorado / Thursday, 10th August 2006 | ||
I once did a play about her story and ever since I have always did research and I really love the picture of Sadako and I to make paper cranes every now and then | ||
Laura LayfieldHong Kong / Wednesday, 5th July 2006 | ||
Hello readers, yes it's me again, I am now starting to make a thousand paper cranes by myself cause I remember Sadaco Sasaki and I was thinking to help her since she is in Heaven and I still remember her name and her face, I will never forget about her story forever! Laura Layfield =] | ||
Leeza S.San Francisco, California / Thursday, 4th May 2006 | ||
I did more research. The jazz fusion band Hiroshima did a song called, "Thousand Cranes." It was a tribute to Sadako Sasaki, as well as the band's namesake city. I heard the song at least a hundred times. It's really peaceful. | ||
Honey BhabeHawaii / Tuesday, 2nd May 2006 | ||
unfortunately she only folded 644 paper cranes.. and she was going to use it to improve her health at first but then when the bombing was in progress.. she just wished for world peace.. bye for now.. | ||
AmdrewAustralia / Sunday, 30th April 2006 | ||
I love the book... when I was in grade four I had to read the last page since my teacher was crying... people also say that she folded 1300... but... she died... she would be 60 now. Now I think Sadako still lives in every person who reads the book... I read the book about 5 times... | ||
Laura LayfieldHong Kong / Friday, 28th April 2006 | ||
Hi yes it's me again today it's a bad news because today my teacher (Mr.Atkinson)is going to throw away the paper crans because he said there are too much paper cranes hanging from the roof and people are always fusing around with them and they might make an axident so I think my class wont make a thousand papercrans at all and I am really sorry but from now on I think I will make the thousand paper cranes at home if i have that much money to bye any paper. If I dont have that much strenght to do them all then I am going to teach my sister how to make the paper crans and once she knows how to do it the she could help me too make a thousand paper crans. So once again thanks for reading my letter and Bye Bye for NOW! | ||

Laura LayfieldHong Kong / Friday, 31st March 2006 | ||
Hello again.In my school my whole class nearly made a thousand paper cranes, when we finished making a thousand paper cranes we will hang it on top of our heads and remind ourself of Sadako Sasaki. If I go to hospital I will also make a thousand paper cranes like Sadako said in the story book I found in the library. p.s. My family says that it would be a great idea if I make a sketch of her and hang it behind my bedroom door. Thank you for reading my comments of Sadako Sasaki because I really want people to read it and enjoy it. I hope I will come here againe BYE BYE FOR NOW EVERYONE THANKS FOR READING! | ||
LukayBabalon / Monday, 27th March 2006 | ||
Ish great | ||
Laura LayfieldHong Kong / Saturday, 25th March 2006 | ||
The first time I heard her story I was very upset, if I didn't know about her (sadako sasaki)then I would'n be able to make any papercranes for her. I wish that she would never die from the past, I wish she finally makes her fortune of a thousand paper cranes. p.s. I will never forget the story about sadako sasaki if she was still alive I could see her lovely face again. | ||
andy alvarezel monte califonia / Sunday, 12th March 2006 | ||
i can't believe she died she was young and had a long life to go sahe was a good and loving person and will always be remembered.sadako sasaki | ||
Navi KaurLos Angeles,California / Saturday, 25th February 2006 | ||
When I read this book, it made me feel very sad because Sadako died when she was only 12 years old. Sadako had a short life to expirence it. | ||
Steona OvertonSedalia MO / Sunday, 27th November 2005 | ||
I love thia book everytime I get a chance to read it it makes me cry.I can't belive she died at such a young age even though im only ten years old that makes me be careful every day | ||

Vicki MoungkhounkhCalifornia / Thursday, 12th May 2005 | ||
This picture is great. It is up close and you could really see the details, it is cool that they have a statue of Sadako Sasaki. It is great that it is a symbol of peace and family to me....It just makes you want to join in with the community and help bring peace. | ||
DusanBelgrade / Monday, 9th May 2005 | ||
One of the saddest stories I've ever heard. People of Nagasaki & Hiroshima didn't deserve that horrible atrocity which Americans comitted. One day the Americans will suffer the same consequences and before the all mighty God will be treated equally. | ||
AmandaTN / Sunday, 13th March 2005 | ||
Jpete is right.She did not finish folding before her death.She managed to fold her last one the night before the morning she closed her eyes and never woke up.The other 356 was folded by her classmates so she could be buried with a thousand.I really LOVE the monument and the song they made for her.I sing it everyday at least 50 times. | ||
vanessa dignuskentucky / Thursday, 3rd March 2005 | ||
i read and saw the play on sadako sasakiand to all of her family i am very sorry about that and i thought she had an amazing life untile that happend and if it makes you happy i will send you a letteri know you live in heroshema but where at in that town and you cam write me back and we can talk about your feelings but i thought she was a good person from ehat i read and her best friend chizuko was a good friend to and kenji to but he died what about her brother and sister but it was good look me up | ||
Nicki ThompsonSydney Australia / Thursday, 20th May 2004 | ||
Everytime I read the story of Sadako I always seem to fall apart because it is a very moving storing. I will keep on reading and crying. It is a shame that awful things happen in today's society. | ||
Jody HockeySomerset/ England / Thursday, 13th May 2004 | ||

sadako never finished folding before her death on october 25, 1955. she only managed to fold 644 cranes. her classmates completed the remaining 356 so she could be buried with them. | ||
