Iwakuni, Japan. Sasaki Kojiro, aka Ganryū Kojiro, invented the 'tsubame-gaeshi' move - which he is about to execute here - by observing swallows flying at the bridge in Iwakuni. Kojiro was killed in a famous duel by the great Miyamoto Musashi, the most challenging samurai foe that Musashi ever faced.

Peace Park is a park located in the University District of Seattle, Washington, at the corner of N.E. 40th Street and Roosevelt Way N.E. at the northern end of the University Bridge. Built by Floyd Schmoe, winner of the 1988 Hiroshima Peace Prize, and dedicated on August 6, 1990, 45 years after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, it is home to a full-size bronze statue of Sadako Sasaki sculpted by Daryl Smith. After the statue was vandalized in December 2003, a number of people, including Sadako's family, requested the statue be relocated to the more heavily-trafficked Green Lake Park. Ultimately the Seattle Parks Department decided the statue should remain in the Peace Park, and upon restoration was returned there in mid-January 2005.
Sadako Sasaki (January 7, 1943 – October 25, 1955) was a Japanese girl who lived near Misasa Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Sadako was only two years old on August 6, 1945 when she became a victim of the atomic bomb.
At the time of the explosion Sadako was at home, about 1 mile from ground zero. By November 1954, chicken pox had developed on her neck and behind her ears. Then in January 1955, purple spots had started to form on her legs. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with leukemia, which her mother referred to as "an atom bomb disease."She was hospitalized on February 21, 1955 and given, at the most, a year to live.
On August 3, 1955, Chizuko Hamamoto — Sadako's best friend — came to the hospital to visit and cut a golden piece of paper into a square and folded it into a paper crane. At first Sadako didn't understand why Chizuko was doing this but then Chizuko retold the story about the paper cranes. Inspired by the crane, she started folding them herself, spurred on by the Japanese saying that one who folded 1,000 cranes was granted a wish. A popular version of the story is that she fell short of her goal of folding 1,000 cranes, having folded only 644 before her death, and that her friends completed the 1,000 and buried them all with her. This comes from the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. An exhibit which appeared in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum stated that by the end of August, 1955, Sadako had achieved her goal and continued to fold more cranes.
Though she had plenty of free time during her days in the hospital to fold the cranes, she lacked paper. She would use medicine wrappings and whatever else she could scrounge up. This included going to other patients' rooms to ask to use the paper from their get-well presents. Chizuko would bring paper from school for Sadako to use.
During her time in hospital her condition progressively worsened. Around mid-October her left leg became swollen and turned purple. After her family urged her to eat something, Sadako requested tea on rice and remarked "It's good." Those were her last words. With her family around her, Sadako died on the morning of October 25, 1955.

Sadako Sasaki was a 2 years old Japanese little girl when the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945, near her home in Hiroshima. In 1955 at the age of 11, she was diagnosed with leukemia (caused by radiation exposure) and given, at the most, a year to live.
According to the most popular version of her story, she attempted to fold a thousand origami cranes before her death asking for peace around the world. Unfortunately, she fell short of her goal, having folded only 644 before her death. Thereby, her friends stood up for her to complete the 1 000, that's what my picture is about.
From that time, she became a symbol of innocent victims of war.
Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who became a victim of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima when she was two years old. Though severely irradiated, she survived for another ten years, becoming one of the most widely known hibakusha – a Japanese term meaning "bomb-affected person". She is remembered through the story of the one thousand origami cranes she folded before her death, and is to this day a symbol of the innocent victims of nuclear warfare.

It's late. The dusk is coming. Since a while I'm seeking inside the Hiroshima Peace Park to find the statue of the poor little Sdako Sasaki, died at 12 from leucemia after having be epxosed to the Atomic Bombe radiations …
In my mind, it was a small statue but I was wrong. Finally I asked gardeners, who were just finishing their day work …
It was close and I discovered on the top of this high monument Sadako's bronze statue, so fond of run course, seeming take her flight to the heaven …
During two years she fighted with an incredible energy and hope against the disease but she lost …
That is her courage and her pugnacity who are honoured across this monument.
In the windows displays all around, thousands of tiny origamis, brought by pupils from the whole world …
So moving …
To understand the meaning of the origamis, see :

Il est tard. Le crépuscule est là. Depuis quelque temps, je cherche dans le parc de la Paix d'Hiroshima la statue de la malheureuse petite Sdako Sasaki, décédé à douze ans des suites d'une leucémie après avoir été exposé aux radiations de la bombe atomique…
Dans mon souvenir, c’était une petite statue mais j’avais tort. Enfin, en demandant à des jardiniers qui terminaient leur journée de travail, je trouvais le lieu…
C'était tout proche et j'ai découvert alors, au sommet de ce haut monument, la statue en bronze de Sadako, si passionnée de course à pied, semblant prendre son vol pour le paradis…
Elle s'est battue pendant plus de deux ans contre la maladie mais elle a perdu.
Se sont son courage et sa ténacité qui sont honorés à travers ce monument.
Dans les vitrines tout autour, des milliers d'origamis minuscules, apportés par des élèves du monde entier…
Si émouvant…

Sadako Sasaki jeune enfant en photo dans ce cercueil est née le 7 janvier 1943 et morte dans la même ville le 25 octobre 1955 à l'âge de douze ans. Une leucémie due à la bombe atomique d'Hiroshima, déclarée bien des années plus tard à brisée sa vie.
Elle est devenue depuis, grâce à ses grues en papier qu'elle confectionnait, une icône de la paix.
Il ne faut jamais l'oublier.
