I am making a lot of little paper cranes, and so far I have 144 cranes. I want to know what different number of cranes mean. Like, what do 100 cranes mean? Good luck? Long life? I don't know!!! So what do 100 cranes and 1000 cranes mean?!? Please answer if you know, this question is almost driving me crazy!!!!
A Japanese legend indicates that anyone who folds 1000 paper cranes will be granted a wish. Sadako Sasaki was a Japanese girl who died from radiation sickness from the A-bomb dropped on Hiroshima. She wanted to fold 1000 cranes before her death at the age of 12. There is a peace monument to her memory in Hiroshima, and people from all over the world send paper cranes to the site.
