President Obama made 4 origami cranes. Two given to children welcoming him, Other two were for Hiroshima Atomic bomb museum.We Japanese origami crane represents our love, wish, prayer and peace. Also origami crane is related with a story of Sadako Sasaki. who was bombed at the age of 2 and suddenly she became leukemia before she graduate elementary school.She tried to make 1,000 cranes so that she could recover but she couldn’t make it.
This historic visit should lead to create a better world without nuclear weapons.
No more Hiroshima.No more Nagasaki. Hibakusha, victims of the A-bomb hate a war itself and they want to be the last victims of nuclear weapons. Being the last Hibakusha is their wish. How strongly they have survived catastrophe over 71 years.
Tomorrow is Memorial Day in the States.
