But once the war was over, testimonies flowed in various forms, and a new vision appears among the horror: renewal and hope for a better future, in a pacifist world without wars and bombings, so future generations will never have to experience the same destiny. Therefore, it is possible to talk about the memory of the war from various aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sasaki Sadako<\/strong> (1943-1955) is one of Japan&#8217;s emblematic symbols of peace. She is mainly known for her connection with <strong>the legend of the thousand paper cranes<\/strong> (<em>senbazuru<\/em>) and as one of the most famous <em>hibakusha<\/em>, an atomic bomb survivor in Japan. Thanks to her testimony, she has become<strong> a true icon of peace<\/strong> in memory of all the irradiated children and victims of war. Her story moved me so much that I decided to write a thesis about it during my Japanese studies at the university.

With World War II on the verge of ending, Japan was still at war with the United States and was about to experience one of the worst atrocities humanity had ever known. In order to accelerate the defeat of Japan, the American forces choose to drop not one, but<strong> two atomic bombs on the country<\/strong>. Thus, &#8220;Little Boy&#8221; was dropped on <a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/tag\/hiroshima\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Hiroshima <\/a>on August 6, 1945, followed closely by his little brother &#8220;Fat Man&#8221; on the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/tag\/nagasaki\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Nagasaki<\/a> three days later. Japan was then quickly forced to surrender, and the Japanese surrender was officially announced on the radio on August 15, 1945, by Emperor Showa (1901-1989) himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image caption-align-center\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194545\/DSC_0248-1024x680-min-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"historic image of Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome\" class=\"wp-image-94624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194545\/DSC_0248-1024x680-min-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194545\/DSC_0248-1024x680-min-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194545\/DSC_0248-1024x680-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194545\/DSC_0248-1024x680-min-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194545\/DSC_0248-1024x680-min.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome (\u539f\u7206\u30c9\u30fc\u30e0,<em> genbaku domu<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The country had to face a significant challenge: to bring first aid to the irradiated bomb victims and also to rebuild the area. Although the estimation of the number of victims remains unclear and varies, it is clear that these two bombs of unbelievable violence caused<strong> thousands of victims on the spot, but also in the years that followed<\/strong> (considering the number of later deaths caused by various types of pathologies due to radiation). In Japanese, they are called &#8220;<strong>hibakusha<\/strong>&#8221; (\u88ab\u7206\u8005, literally &#8220;person exposed to bombing&#8221;, contraction of <em>Genshi no hibakusha<\/em> (\u539f\u5b50\u7206\u5f3e\u306e\u88ab\u7206\u8005), or &#8220;victim of an atomic bomb&#8221;). So this term is about the<strong> irradiated victims directly and indirectly exposed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2011, after the triple disaster in Fukushima, anti-nuclear movements and associations have moreover used this same term to refer to any victim of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, adjusting a kanji (<em>hibakusha<\/em> \u88ab\u66dd\u8005, &#8220;victim exposed to radiation&#8221;.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Sasaki-Sadako\">The story of Sasaki Sadako, the hibakusha child<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Hiroshima bombing,<strong> Sasaki Sadako <\/strong>(\u4f50\u3005\u6728 \u798e\u5b50), then two years old, was at her home, <strong>about two kilometers from the epicenter<\/strong>. But even when she escaped without injury, she and her mother were exposed to <strong>black rain<\/strong>: a phenomenon observed after atomic bombs, formed by the combination of radioactive ash mixing with the rain. Although it has never been officially proven that these can be dangerous, it is highly probable that the contact of this rain with the skin leads to contamination of the cells. Despite this, Sadako and her mother would not suffer any physical damage. She grew up normally and even developed a very cheerful temperament and a talent for competitive running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped caption-align-center wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"176\" height=\"309\" data-id=\"94627\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194604\/Sadako_Sasaki2.jpg\" alt=\"Sasaki Sadako in kimono before getting sick\" class=\"wp-image-94627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194604\/Sadako_Sasaki2.jpg 176w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194604\/Sadako_Sasaki2-150x263.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 176px) 100vw, 176px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"94626\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194557\/Peace_Park_-_1-1024x768-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sasaki Sadako Statue in Seattle\" class=\"wp-image-94626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194557\/Peace_Park_-_1-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194557\/Peace_Park_-_1-1024x768-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194557\/Peace_Park_-_1-1024x768-1-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Left: Sadako before her illness.

She was admitted to the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital in February 1955, and the doctors predicted that she would live about a year. Her destiny seemed to be set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, she died of her injuries in October 1955, when she was 12 years old. However, she was soon associated with the legend of the Thousand Paper Cranes (<em>senbazuru<\/em>) and became a true icon of peace. Sadako might also recall the young <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anne_Frank\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Anne Frank<\/a> (1929-1945), a Jewish child deported when she was 15 years old during the Holocaust. The two young girls may be of different nationalities, but they both experienced a tragic destiny: being a victim of war. Through this connection between the innocence of childhood and the horror of war, they become a symbol, and even a model. These two young girls with a tragic fate were also known for their joy of living, their optimism, and their permanent strength. Thus, their story continues to be told today to teach younger generations about <strong>the impact of war and the importance of peace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"thousand-paper-crane-peace-legend\">Senbazuru: The legend of the Thousand Paper Cranes, a symbol of peace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In August 1955, one of Sadako&#8217;s classmates came to her bedside and told her about <strong>the <em>senbazuru<\/em><\/strong> <strong>legend <\/strong>(\u5343\u7fbd\u9db4, &#8220;1000 cranes&#8221;). This legend says that whoever manages to fold 1000 paper cranes, which are then tied together to form a wreath, will have their wish granted, whether it is for health, love, success, or happiness. The crane is a symbol of longevity in Japan, and a prayer will have to be realized with each completed crane. This can be a collective or individual activity, but it is said that the more people who have contributed to the wreath, the biggest the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image caption-align-center\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194605\/shinta-kikuchi-Iab-F_63atc-unsplash-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"several Crane Origami on a table\" class=\"wp-image-94628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194605\/shinta-kikuchi-Iab-F_63atc-unsplash-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194605\/shinta-kikuchi-Iab-F_63atc-unsplash-min-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194605\/shinta-kikuchi-Iab-F_63atc-unsplash-min-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194605\/shinta-kikuchi-Iab-F_63atc-unsplash-min.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>In order to make your senbazuru, you will need to make 1000 paper cranes.

Some reports state that she managed to bend about 1300 cranes. However, the numbers vary, as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum reports 1,500 cranes, while others count only 644, reporting that after she succumbed to illness in October 1955, her deeply saddened classmates folding the remaining 356 cranes in her honor. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum suggests a different version: despite having completed some 1,500 cranes, Sadako&#8217;s wish was not fulfilled, and, at her funeral, her classmates honored her by leaving several cranes at her side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-id=\"94623\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194537\/DSC_0081-min.jpg\" alt=\"sign with Peace for all, all for Peace, Hiroshima\" class=\"wp-image-94623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194537\/DSC_0081-min.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194537\/DSC_0081-min-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194537\/DSC_0081-min-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194537\/DSC_0081-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194537\/DSC_0081-min-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-id=\"94620\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194514\/DSC_0035-min.jpg\" alt=\"Senbazuru, colorful One thousand origami cranes\" class=\"wp-image-94620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194514\/DSC_0035-min.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194514\/DSC_0035-min-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194514\/DSC_0035-min-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194514\/DSC_0035-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/03194514\/DSC_0035-min-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">If you go to the Children&#8217;s Peace Monument, you will see many wreaths of <em>senbazuru <\/em>cranes as an offering to the <em>hibakusha<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Sadako, <strong>the paper crane has become an international symbol of peace<\/strong>.
