The meaning of origami cranes.
Origami is the art of making objects from paper and is thousands of years old; however, the origami crane we know so well was "invented" less than a century ago.
It all happened in the 1940s, during the Hiroshima War, which resulted in the explosion of an atomic bomb. At the time, a girl named Sadako Sasaki was very ill due to radiation exposure.
While she was in the hospital, her friend Chizuko advised her to make paper cranes, since if she reached 1,000, she could make a wish. Of course, her wish was to be cured of the illness that afflicted her, but she also wanted the war to end.
The little girl couldn't complete the goal, as she died after completing the 644th, but her friends continued with the 'mission' that would become known throughout the world and symbolize peace from that moment on.
In Japan, origami cranes are given as gifts to wish someone health, happiness, well-being, and prosperity. For example, when a couple gets married, when a baby is born, or when someone is ill. They can also be given to someone we love very much.
