Saturday & Sunday
Trying to put together and idea for my proposal… Trying is defiantly the right word.
I made lots of paper cranes out of different stuff such as plain paper, pages of text, wrapping paper, tissue paper, patterned paper etc. They’re easy to make once you get the hang of it. And they can be made very small.
I did some research into the 12 year old girl. Her name was Sadako Sasaki and she only 2 when she was affected by Hiroshima. She died on the 25th October 1955. They are two versions of her death – I don’t know which is true. One says she finished making the paper cranes and continued to make many more, the other says she only managed to make about 600 and her friends made up the rest after she died.
Either way, her story has travelled across the world. The Japanese Crane has been made by people across the world as a symbol of hope due to this little girl.
