Peace Park statue
A life size bronze of Sadako Sasaki, a young Japanese girl who survived the Hiroshima bombing, but later died from radiation sickness at age 12. Children visit the park and bring origami cranes to the statue.

Classmates folded 356 paper cranes so that 1,000 were buried with Sadako Sasaki when she died October 25, 1955. In 1958 a statue of Sadako was unveiled at Hiroshima Peace Park. A Folded Crane Club was organized in her honor, & members still place thousands of paper cranes at her statue each August 6 — Peace Day. There is also now a statue in Seattle's very, very tiny Peace Park, a few blocks south of the Blue Moon Tavern.
