 One thousand origami cranes

The concept of "one thousand origami cranes," or "Senbazuru" in Japanese, is a significant cultural symbol in Japan. According to Japanese legend, if someone folds one thousand origami cranes, they will be granted a wish, often interpreted as the wish for good health, long life, or even world peace. The tradition is especially associated with Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who became a victim of the Hiroshima atomic bombing.
