Sasaki Kojiro tsubame-gaeshi. From Peter T (Tripadvsor): 'This statue portrays Sasaki Kojiro, aka Ganryū Kojirō, who invented his powerful tsubame-gaeshi move — the one he is about to execute in the statue, as he is holding his katana in that special way — by observing swallows flying at the bridge at Iwakuni. Kojiro was killed by Miyamoto Musashi at the island of Ganryujima, just off the shore of Shimonoseki at the southern tip of Yamaguchi Prefecture.'

Sadako Sasaki (佐々木 禎子, Sasaki Sadako?, January 7, 1943 – October 25, 1955) was a Japanese girl who was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, near her home by Misasa Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan.
At the time of the explosion Sadako was at home, about one 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."[1] She was hospitalized on February 21, 1955, and given, at the most, a year to live.
On August 3, 1955, Sadako's best friend Chizuko Hamamoto 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 the 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 at the age of 12.

Ken Sasaki (* 14. September 1943 in Sendai; † 10. August 1991 in Paris) war ein japanischer Pianist.
Sasaki hatte seit seiner frühen Kindheit Klavierunterricht, studierte an der Kunsthochschule Tokio und debütierte 1966 als Pianist. Ein Stipendium des polnischen Kultusministeriums ermöglichte ihm ein Studium am Warschauer Konservatorium bei Zbigniew Drzewieckiund Danuta Lewandowska. Als Stipendiat der französischen Regierung vervollkommnete er 1969 seine Ausbildung bei Vlado Perlemuter.
Als Konzertpianist trat Sasaki u. a. in Polen, Frankreich, den Niederlanden, der Schweiz, Österreich und Deutschland auf. 1972 organisierte der Impresario Wilfred van Wyck sein englisches Debüt in der Londoner Wigmore Hall. 1979 unternahm er eine Konzerttournee durch die USA, die in einem Konzert in New York gipfelte. Daneben gab er regelmäßig, oft von europäischen Musikensembles begleitet, Konzerte in Japan. Im Mittelpunkt seines Repertoires standen die Klavierwerke von Franz Liszt, Maurice Ravel und Fryderyk Chopin. Sasaki hatte in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten seines Lebens seinen Wohnsitz in Paris und ist auf dem Friedhof Père-Lachaise begraben.

Former Bell Labs research and development center (Eero Saarinen, with Sasaki, Walker & Associates, 1957-1962; Kevin Roche & John Dinkeloo, 1964-1966 and 1981-1985). Now the work/mall complex Bell Works (adaptive reuse by Alexander Gorlin Architects, ca. 2009-2017).
This is a tough one to judge. Based on period photographs, I'm confident that Gorlin's renovations are sensitive and intelligent, preserving the material and spatial character of the original building while converting it from a mega-scaled R&D machine to a plausible, lease-able combination of office space and shopping/recreation stuff. Gorlin has some New Urbanist connections, and clearly the retail elements here are meant to be a kind of "town center" addressing the middle- and upper-middle-class market of an expanse of suburban sprawl otherwise served by a handful of commercial strips and one-stoplight main streets. (Merchants in Red Bank, NJ, twenty minutes' drive away, might possibly be eyeing this with some concern.) But, look, if a developer is going to gin up a bunch of speculative office space, far better for that to come through the reuse of an old building (and preservation of a Modernist monument) than bulldozing some of the remaining woods and farmland for greenfield development. I also appreciate that the mix of tenants includes a branch library, a Montessori school and a dentist's office, in addition to V/R experiences, indoor golf simulations, an escape room, etc.
That leaves the architecture itself. Well, by the standards of 1960s suburban corporate campuses generally, it makes a strong and memorable statement, with its vast, long gridded atrium insisting on the clarity and logic of Bell's organizational structure, and its similarly regular sawtooth skylights (compare to Ford Foundation's) admitting an enormity of light to the deep interior. At a certain point, however, it becomes too much of a muchness; I'm sympathetic to Gorlin's desire to add some subtle variety (through, e.g., the Josef Albers-inspired floor tiling). There's a technological clean-room dryness to the architecture here, as if hints of the Swinging Sixties to come would have knocked the screws loose from the "men with bell-shaped heads," and endangered their daily mission of clear-eyed thinking and technical precision.
That said, I think the secret obstacle here - apart from the "object sits between parking lots" site-planning - is the 1980s expansion, overseen by original Saarinen lieutenants Kevin Roche and John Dinkeloo. They wisely kept the original kit of parts, but I think were unable to overcome the client's wish to extend the original 700-foot building by 150 feet on either end. This wiped out two of Sasaki's modernized Japanese garden ponds, producing a rather abrupt transition between parking and entry; a compensatory lagoon was added along the south side. (You can learn much more about the building's history in Patrick Harshbarger's excellent Historic American Landscapes Survey report.) Inside and out, the seams of the addition are basically invisible, but, admittedly not having seen the original, I feel certain that the extended length fundamentally throws off the proportions on the interior. That walk to the middle is a little too long, and the prospect of repeating it on the other side of the core is thus a little less appealing.
But, hey, are you really going to go back outside and drive around to the other end? And look, there are only so many midcentury-modern suburban corporate campuses that you can actually stroll around and admire. For all its faults, this place is a must-see for anyone interested in the period.

A figure of Sadako Sasaki at the top of the statue, and a boy and a girl at the sides.
The monument is located in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan. Designed by native artists Kazuo Kikuchi and Kiyoshi Ikebe, the monument was built using money derived from a fund-raising campaign by Japanese school children, including Sadako Sasaki's classmates, with the main statue entitled "Atomic Bomb Children". The statue was unveiled on 5 May 1958, the Japanese Children's Day holiday. Sadako Sasaki, who died of an atomic bomb disease radiation poisoning is immortalized at the top of the statue, where she holds a wire crane above her head. Shortly before she passed, she had a vision to create a thousand cranes. Japanese tradition says that if one creates a thousand cranes, they are granted one wish. Sadako's wish was to have a world without nuclear weapons. Thousands of origami cranes from all over the world are offered around the monument. They serve as a sign that the children who make them and those who visit the statue desire a world without nuclear war, having been tied to the statue by the story that Sadako died from radiation-induced leukemia after folding just under a thousand cranes, wishing for world peace. However, 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. Unfortunately, her wish was not granted and she died of the leukemia on October 25, 1955. Her main reason of death was from the radiation poisoning from the atomic bomb Little Boy.
