A group of students visit the Children's Peace Monument, constructed to commemorate Sadako Sasaki and all children who died during, or as a result of the bombing of Hiroshima.

Sadako Sasaki was two year old when she and her family were exposed to the A-bomb. Ten years later she was diagnosed with leukemia and passed away after an 8-month battle, during which she folded more than 1000 paper cranes, hopping for her wish, to overcome her disease, to become true according to a Japanese legend. Shocked by her death, her classmates of the Bamboo class at the Nobori-cho Elementary School put out a national call to build a monument to mourn all the children who died from the atomic bombing. Students in more than 3100 schools around Japan and nine other countries sent money and letters of support. In January 1957, it was officially decided to build the Children's Peace Monument (Genbaku no Ko no Zō, lit. "Atomic Bomb Children Statue") in Peace Memorial Park, which was completed on Children's Day (5 May) in 1958, two years after Sadako Sasaki's death.

The monument consists of a three-legged pedestal, on top of which stands the bronze figure of a girl holding up a gold-colored crane, immortalizing Sadako Sasaki. A boy and a girl figure are suspended on opposite sides of the pedestal, symbolizing bright future and hope (or angels, according to the museum’s website). The figures on the Children's Peace Monument were designed by Kazuo Kikuchi, and the stand by Kiyoshi Ikebe, both former professors at the University of Tokyo. Inside the arch a wind chime formed by a gold crane hung under a bell was contributed by Dr. Hideki Yukawa, a winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics for his work on nuclear physics (theoretical prediction of the pion).

The inscription carved into the stone in front of the monument reads: "This is our cry, this is our prayer: for building peace in the world". Thousands of paper cranes are left and sent here every year, wishing for peace and a world without nuclear weapons.

Le monument de la paix des enfants (原爆の子の像, genbaku no ko no zō) est un monument commémorant Sadako Sasaki ainsi que tous les autres enfants ayant péri dans le bombardement. Cette fillette, tout juste âgée de deux ans lors du bombardement, développa une leucémie due à son exposition aux radiations qui la tua alors qu'elle avait douze ans, en 1955. Elle avait entrepris de plier mille grues en papier, ce qui, selon une légende japonaise, permet de voir un de ses vœux exaucés.

 

Ces grues sont devenues un symbole de paix, et de nombreux enfants visitant le mémorial laissent un origami au pied de la statue. La statue représente Sadako Sasaki, tenant dans ses bras une grue en or. Elle est soutenue par un piédestal en granit sur lequel il est gravé :

 

これはぼくらの叫びですCeci est notre cri.

これは私たちの祈りですCeci est notre prière.

世界に平和をきずくためのPour construire la paix dans le monde

Le monument fut inauguré le jour de la fête des enfants, le 5 mai 1958. Le piédestal avait été dessiné par Kiyoshi Ikebe, un professeur de l'université de Tokyo tandis que les statues ont été créées par Kazuo Kikuchi, professeur à l'université des arts de Tokyo. La cloche située sous le piédestal avait été offerte par le physicien Hideki Yukawa, partisan du désarmement nucléaire.

"Sadako Sasaki tenía dos años cuando cayó la bomba en Hiroshima, ciudad en la que vivía. Diez años más tarde, como consecuencia de la radiación que le produjo dicho artefacto, los médicos le diagnosticaron leucemia. Cuando la pequeña Sadako estaba en el hospital recuperándose, su amiga Chizuko le explicó la historia de las 1.000 grullas de papel. La historia consiste en que si deseas algo con mucha fuerza y construyes 1.000 grullas de papel, los dioses te concederán ese deseo que tanto anhelas."

 

Cada año, para el 6 de agosto, Día de la Paz, llegan miles de grullas de papel a Hiroshima desde todos los lugares del planeta con la esperanza de evitar las guerras, conseguir la paz entre todos los países y transmitir este mensaje a todo el mundo.
