Sadako Sasaki was a young girl living in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945. She was only two years old at the time, but she was exposed to the radiation from the bomb and developed leukemia.

In 1955, when Sadako was twelve years old, she was hospitalized with leukemia. While she was in the hospital, she heard a story about a crane. According to the story, if a person folded 1,000 paper cranes, they would be granted a wish.

Sadako decided to fold 1,000 paper cranes in the hope that she would be cured of leukemia. She folded cranes from any paper she could find, including candy wrappers and origami paper. She folded cranes in the hospital, at school, and even at home.
