GoKawiilMazda runs global paper crane donation project for Hiroshima memorial
The article recounts the Japanese legend of the senbazuru, in which folding one thousand paper cranes grants a wish, tied to the story of Sadako Sasaki, a 1945 Hiroshima bombing survivor who folded cranes while hoping to recover. It notes the Children's Peace Monument in Hiroshima, unveiled in 1958, where cranes from around the world are displayed, and explains that pandemic travel restrictions cut visitor numbers and crane donations, prompting Mazda's distributors, employees and local communities worldwide to fold and send cranes to the memorial.
