[simpleboymoney]

is the crane thing real i can get a wish?

[jcvideo321]

@simpleboymoney

its not real its a japenese legend

[Lollipopan]

@jcvideo321 no it is real, Sadako got sick because of the atomic bomb that was dropped by the americans in Hiroshima. She was two at the time. She got inspired to fold the paper cranes by a friend who dropped by at the hospital she was staying. The legend is that if you fold 1000 paper cranes you will get a wish from a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. She was able to make 644 before she died.

@summerkitchenstudio Just wanted to let you know I donated 644 cranes in honor of Sadako for the Ogosh B'Gosh clothing donations. Thanks for the animation.

[summerkitchenstudio]

@lesmeslover95 Thanks! That's wonderful!

[felisity]

great work! i read sadako's story maybe 16 years ago and I was totally moved. i love your video,thanks for sharing it!

[evua]

very sad story I love folding cranes

[Maya50000]

Okay Im in Vancouver B.C and I read about the Peace Crane Project. Then I found out about Sadako Sasaki.

So It said that folding a paper crane is like making peace - some of the steps can be difficult and at first it may seen imposible. However there is always more than one route and when all is said done, no matter whether it is big or small, in the end it is a thing of beauty.

This is our cry. This is our Prayer Peace in the world

P.S: Smallest cranes are the hardest to make.

[animeaussie]

sadako only folded 644 and she died. jeez, I'm doing a report on her. Study a little!!!

This is our cry, this is our prayer, peace in the world.

[CrumpArt]

Actually, Sadako did reach her goal of 1000 cranes — she started folding another thousand, but died before she reached her second goal. I suggest you read the book "One Thousand Paper Cranes: The Story of Sadako and the Children's Peace Statue" by Takayuki Ishii.

[tru0001]

In some other sources it said that she folded over 1000 but i prefer Sadako and the Thousand paper cranes more

[tru0001]

in other sources it says that Sadako folded more than 1000 cranes but it seems impossible to do that.

peace to the world...

[origamichan]

Sadako's friends folded the rest of the cranes. Let's hope someday all the world's people come together like Sadako's friends did. Someday, maybe you can see the statue of Sadako and the cranes in Hiroshima!

[melodychan4]

The sadako and the thousand paper cranes book is so sad... this story is more of a kid version so its happier then the real thing but this one is ok...sorry i don`t really like the animations..but still good effort so 5!

[Shaolen]

nice story
