Sadako Sasaki was a young girl who became a poignant symbol of hope and resilience in the aftermath of the Hiroshima atomic bombing during World War II. Sadako was exposed to the bomb's devastating effects at the age of two and was diagnosed with leukemia years later. Inspired by the Japanese legend that folding a thousand paper cranes grants a wish, Sadako embarked on creating Senbazuru, hoping for recovery and peace. While she tragically passed away at the age of twelve, her legacy lives on and the practice of folding cranes continue to inspire people worldwide.
