＜説明内容記載＞

Origami is Japanese folded paper art.

"Crane" is called "Tsuru" in Japanese which is the most iconic origami form.  

In Japanese tradition,

One thousand origami cranes is a symbol of peace.

We have large memorial services in Hiroshima on August 6 and in Nagasaki on August 9 every summer because one hundred fifty-thousand civilians died instantly when two atomic bombs were dropped on those cities by the United States in 1945 during World War 2.

And tens of thousands more died afterwards from burns and other terrible symptoms of radiation poisoning.

The effects are still felt today.

We say a prayer for not only the Japanese war dead but also the war dead in the world.

We say a prayer for world peace.

Math specialist Ms.McGraw took one thousand origami cranes to Hiroshima as a messenger from Lawrence school during her trip to Japan last summer.

And Mr.Weinburger is doing that this April.

So let’s join us in making origami cranes to show your support for world peace.
