I WAS LEFT SPEECHLESS IN HIROSHIMA! 16+
*0:01 BURNS, NOT BURNES.
This day finally came! I never thought I would visit this town in my life. I've heard stories about Hiroshima and Nagasaki but I couldn't imagine what happened there, how many people lost their lives, how much did they suffer. Today, there live more than a million people and they are amazing. They are so friendly, nice, always smiling even though they have been through a lot in the past. I fell in love with every inch of that city. I've seen the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (or Atomic Bomb Dome, the A-Bomb dome) which is the symbol of destruction but also strength and peace. I've learned about a girl named Sadako Sasaki who died because of leukemia (Full story in this video). Later I went to the Hiroshima Museum where I literally couldn't speak after I've seen those pictures and footages. In the end, I went to the Orizuru Tower where I've folded my paper crane and toss it down because it symbolizes peace.

Hiroshima Bombing Story | Tour around the Atomic Hypocenter ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Today is the 74th anniversary of the Hiroshima Bombing - August 6, 2019
Hiroshima, August 6, 1945. It’s a day that changed everything. The atomic bomb decimated the city, killing nearly all nearby the blast. Fast forward about 75 years later, and Hiroshima is now a beautiful city, resurrected from the ruins of the post war period. Near the hypocenter is the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park and Museum and across the river, the A-Bomb Dome which sits as it did, destroyed after the bomb in ruins. We'll look at the area around the hypocenter and see old video footage from 1945 after the bomb. We'll also meet a witness who will describe in detail the horror he saw as he volunteered to help in Hiroshima on August 7, 1945, the next day.
We’re now in the 4th generation since the bomb was dropped, those that were kids who could remember are now in their 80s and 90s. Yuji is a 3rd generation Hiroshima resident since the bomb and he wants to share the city of Hiroshima so people don’t forget the past. He learned a lot from his great uncle who told him stories as a kid of the horrors of that day and how the city rebuilt. Another reason is that he wants to teach his son so he can pass on the stories from his family who were alive nearby on that tragic day. They're now tour guides in Hiroshima.
At age 92, Yuji’s great uncle shares his story of the day he will never forget. He lived in Kure city near by, saw the mushroom cloud and went into the city to help. His account is graphic, the scene is grim and real.
The city cannot erase it’s past but it can move on and write the next chapter in its history and I think that is where Hiroshima is today. Tourism to the city is increasing, many international visitors stop by Hiroshima to understand what happened on that day, pay their respects, and tours like the one with Yuji and Magical Trip I took is a way to understand just how much the city changed that day and how it’s re-invented itself since. I hope you can feel something for Hiroshima and if you are in Japan, it's a must visit destination.

Visiting HIROSHIMA Today: IS IT SAFE from RADIATION?!
Hiroshima today is a city transformed, but it's known for harrowing history. The Peace Memorial Park, Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Museum are very important for everybody to experience… but I didn’t expect to find so much fun on my city tour.
From tasty Okonomiyaki to craft breweries and rooftop bars. Hiroshima in 2019 is a really vibrant, modern place. But it also owns it’s history, presented best by the story of Sadako Sasaki.
This is my Hiroshima travel video, that I hope captures my thoughts and feelings of the place.

Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome Tour - 原爆ドーム - 4K Ultra HD
Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome - 原爆ドーム : Japan is the only country in the world that had to suffer the horror of one of the most destructive forces ever created by mankind : an atomic bomb.
Preserved as a witness of such horror, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, also known as the Atomic Bomb Dome or Genbaku Dome, was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945.
It is honestly difficult to describe the chilling effect that such a sight gives you in real life and once in front of this structure, one can only hope that we will soon evolve into more compassionate and peaceful beings, strong enough to put an end to worldwide suffering.

■TripNotes
Spot1:Itsukushima Shrine
Miyajima, one of Japan's most scenic places, is home to the world heritage site, Itsukushima Shrine. The special characteristics of this shrine are its floating Torii gate that stands in the ocean, and the inner sanctuary of the Shrine. At high tide, the Shrine submerges in the water and appears to be floating on the sea in this sacred landscape.
Only in Japan will you find a Noh stage that floats in the sea and this traditional art can be witnessed under the moonlight at night.
Spot2:Daisho-in Temple
Amongst all the temples in Miyajima, the oldest one is the Daihonzan Daisho-in Temple. It's a 20-minute walk from Miyajima Bridge. This place is peaceful and beautiful and from here you can gaze quietly upon the townscape on the other side of the shore.
Enshrined here are various Buddhas, including the Eleven-faced enlightened monk called Avalokitesvara. Bells resound in the entire area and the vibrant autumn colors of the Japanese Maple will cleanse your heart.
Spot3:Hiroshima Peace Memorial
On August 6, 1945 an atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima. This is the only building that survived the atomic bombings and has been preserved in the state it was at the time and was later on opened to the public as Hiroshima Peace Memorial. It was also registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996.
Since 1964, a flame of peace continues to burn at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, where the atomic bomb dome is located, in hope of a world free of nuclear weapons.
Spot3:Orizuru Tower
Orizuru Tower was opened right next to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial in 2016. As a new tourist attraction in the city of Hiroshima, it's a facility devised to convey the past, present and future of Hiroshima. Enjoy panoramic views of Hiroshima city from the Hiroshima-no-oka observation deck.
Food:Oysters
Oysters are a gourmet inseparable from Hiroshima. While winter is the peak season to enjoy delicious oysters, they are available all year round.
There is a variety of oyster dishes available, but if you want to enjoy the original flavor of oysters, raw oysters or baked oysters are recommended. The condensed flavor of freshly baked oysters is especially delicious.

2000 Paper Cranes - A Memorial to Sadako Sasaki
UPDATE (Dec 2016): The art piece has been moved and found a permanent home in the Hiroshima mayor's office.
---
UPDATE (Jan 2015): It's been almost 7 years since I started, but my Sadako art piece has finally found a home in Hiroshima, Japan! It is on display in the Honkawa Kindergarten in Hiroshima. It is the closest kindergarten to the Peace Memorial Park. I'm so excited to know that my art may inspire a new generation.
---
This is an art project I've created to memorialize Sadako Sasaki.
Contained within the fragile wings of these 2000 paper cranes is the portrait of Sadako Sasaki. A child victim of leukemia from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima, Sadako folded paper cranes as a means to become well again. She eventually lost her battle from a disease caused by a war that was no fault of her own. Drawing from her dedication to overcome adversity and born from the hope to memorialize and inspire, each grayscale crane serves to allow Sadako's story of perseverance and optimism to live on. A single origami crane stands true as a universal symbol of peace, but when folded and grouped into larger quantities, their overwhelming inspiration seems to flourish.
Although hatred and greed abundantly affect much of our world, it seems that compassion and empathy are spread thin. These emotions, be it love or hate, are universal, and not exclusive to any one creed; their potential lives inside everyone. This message is echoed in the fact that a folded origami crane can blossom from any hand. It is hoped that the solemn stare of the girl that materializes from within the careful arrangement of folded paper helps the viewer to reflect on the potential that lives inside themselves.

Letter From Sadako's Mother
Come Back to Me Again, Sadako
A Letter from Sadako's Mother, Fujiko Sasaki
No one is lovelier for a mother than the most miserable child. I have four children and I feel very sorry about Sadako most. Already eight months have passed since Sadako died. She was really a miserable child. When she was born during the war, there was not enough food and she weighed only 2250 grams, but she was fine except when she got pneumonia when my husband was drafted. You may laugh at me if I praise her (Translator's note: it is not Japanese custom to praise your family in front of others;), but she was so considerate and thoughtful that I relied on her. She helped me a lot in every possible way. When I can't go to sleep, I often remember my child who got worn out and died and wish I could hug her to my heart's content only once more. In my dream, Sadako says to me, Leave it to me, mom and I wake up calling, Sadako!
Then I realize it was a dream and I wonder how she is. For a while, I'm lost in my sad thoughts and join my hands in prayer before the tablet of the deceased.
I remember January 9th last year. She showed me a lymph node behind her ear saying Mom, I think that my lymphatic glands were swollen a little. I thought it. But when she had a check up at ABCC(Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission) in June, 1954, she was told that she was fine, and she was really vigorous and everyone knew she loved doing exercises.
I once thought, If she has to suffer like this, she should have died that morning on August 6th (which was the day the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima), but I now think, I wish she were alive and could be with me no matter how handicapped she was and how heavy her sickness was.
I remember Sadako like I remember yesterday. What I remember most is the time when she was hospitalized.
It was a rare and fine morning at the ground of Nobori-cho elementary school on February 10th, 1955. I remember vigorous children playing, jumping an elastic string. Sadako was enjoying playing it though I thought, Sadako! You are sick with an atomic bomb disease called leukemia. Oh, no! Why you?
My husband and I took her to a hospital though she went to school happily with a bag as usual.
Sadako looked fine without knowing that her doctor said she would die in a few months.
After he told us this, my husband and I cried hard near Sadako, who was sleeping peacefully. We were choked with tears and spent the night thinking, Oh, we wish something could be done. We wish here was something to save her against this illness of Atomic Bomb disease. I squeezed Sadako's hands thinking If a medicine which could cure this incurable disease in the world existed in the world, then I'd like to borrow money even if it is ten million yen. Or, if possible, let me die for her...
But we were so poor that we could barely live. I decided to do my best as a mother and love her as much as possible. But eight months after she has passed away, my heart is still choked with sorrow because I couldn't do anything for her.
I appreciate her doctors' efforts, caring for her day and night. When I heard that she would die soon, I bought silk fabric with a cherry blossom pattern and at night I made her a kimono. When I gave it to Sadako, she kept back her tears and said, Mom, you did too much for me. I asked her to put it on saying, Sadako-chan, this is my wish, so please put this on. She wiped her tears and wore it and looked very happy.
She knew we were poor though she didn't say anything. She used to say, Mom, I'm not a good daughter because you have to spend so much money for my sickness... I'm sure sure she had many things she wanted to buy as a teenager such as new clothes, but she didn't say anything to me and kept it to herself because she knew we were poor.
I coundn't stop my tears when I saw Sadako wearing the kimono because she looked so nice. She watched me saying, Why do you shed tears? You did too much for me... We had a dream to buy kimono for her after the war because she had helped me so much. Our dream was realized finally.
One of her classmates, Miss Chizuko Hamamoto, wrote her reminiscence of Sadako as follows;
Sadako looked more beautiful in her kimono because her swollen lymph nodes made her appear as if she gained weight. She wore her beautiful kimono with cherry blossom patterns today. When I said, You look nicer with Kimono than a dress, Miss Sasaki, she said, Is that so? Isn't it nice? But she looked sad. I don't know how Sadako felt about her friend's words, but the kimono became a keepsake.
She believed in a saying that if you fold a thousand cranes, you'd get over your sickness. She folded paper cranes carefully, one by one using a piece of paper of advertisement, medicine and wrapping. Her eyes were shining while she was folding the cranes, showing she wanted to survive by all means.
When my husband and I went to see her, she said, Dad, I've folded just four hundred paper cranes. He was considerate to her, keeping back his tears.
How hard her fate is, though she wants to live so much! How pitiful she is though she wants to live so much! Sadako, I want to do something for you by all means, I thought, but there was nothing I could do and I thought tenderly of her.
Looking at the folded cranes which Sadako made innocently on her bed, I almost cried my heart out thinking of Sadako's feelings. I wondered why she was born.
I gave folded cranes that she made sincerely to her classmates and put the rest of them in her coffin as well as flowers so that she could bring them to the next world.
Why didn't you thousand cranes sing? Why didn't they fly?
Sadako, please forgive me. How hard and uncomfortable it was every day. I wonder if you live in comfort in the heaven.
Her classmates, the members of Association of Kokeshi, come every 25th, and are kind to us.
I cried reading letters of reminiscence of Sadako which will be published in a book the other day. I really respect children for their strong love and wish for peace because they made a plan to create a Statue of an Atomic Bomb Child with Sadako's death as a start.
Sadako! The peace you wished for will be realized in the form of a statue of An Atomic Bomb Child, with the help of your classmates such as Masako and Chou as well as children from Hokkaidou in the north to Kyushu in the south.
The statue of An Atomic Child will be built as the symbol of peace on the lawn near Atomic Bomb Memorial Tower in Nakajima where Sada-chan went with father!
Sadako! Listen! Can you hear your friends' strong voices for peace? As the mother of a child who passed away when she was only twelve and a half years old, I'd like to appeal to mothers not only in Japan but all over the world that I don't want such a horrible thing to happen again. So many children are looking for peace.
P.S. The letters are from Record of Atomic Bombs in Japan by Seishi Toyota. (Published by Nihon Tosho Center in 1991)

三分一インタビュー ・なぜ広島が再びグリーンになったか
Hiroshi Sambuichi – one of the leading green architects of our time – here reflects on his hometown Hiroshima and how “the power of nature” helped the landscape to restore so rapidly following the atomic bombings during World War II.
Sambuichi has lived in Hiroshima since he was a little boy, and hence this is where all his childhood memories are from: “Originally Hiroshima was just like Miyajima, a place with an affluent culture. And the wind, water and sun were moving very beautifully in this town.” When the United States dropped nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, it was commonly believed that “no plants and trees would grow for 70 years. But trees and plants started to grow immediately.” According to Sambuichi, the reason for this can be found in the way nature works in the 10 km2 area of Hiroshima, which has seven rivers flowing into the Seto Inland Sea, and where clean water and clean air recirculates: “The water changes twice and the air once. And as long as the sun rises and the moon moves, this will repeat itself regularly. Because of that, everything rapidly became green again. And a beautiful city was restored.”
“The real beauty of this place is that you have a city which becomes one with the air and the sea.” Sambuichi considers Hiroshima a very green city and wants visitors to feel that: “When a city really becomes one with the air, water and sun I am sure that people will feel the vitality of this. To create cities where this is not lost is a very important message I want to convey to the world.”
Hiroshi Sambuichi (b.1968) is a Japanese architect, who is considered one of the top experimentalists of sustainable architecture, creating a symbiosis between nature and architecture. Built upon both personal intuition and scientific investigations, his architecture attains a rare balance between poetics and science. In 2001 Sambuichi established Sambuichi Architects. He is currently an Honorary Professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. In 2017 he was awarded the Wallpaper* Design Award for Naoshima Hall.
Hiroshi Sambuichi was interviewed by Christian Lund at Møstings Hus in connection with his installation ‘The Water’ at the Cisterns in Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2017.

2017 Hiroshima Peace Ceremony Media Coverage (KGMB) - Aug 7, 2017
Teens from the YMCA of Honolulu and Hiroshima YMCA commemorate the 72nd Anniversary of the Bombing of Hiroshima by ringing the replica of the Hiroshima Peach Bell at the Izumo Taishakyo Mission and presenting 1,000 folded cranes.
The Hiroshima and Honolulu teens have spent the past two weeks together as part of the annual “YMCA Let’s Get Together” student peace exchange that has taken place every summer for the past 57 years. The folded cranes are a symbol of world peace based on the life and story of Sadako Sasaki.
Sadako was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and was later diagnosed with leukemia and died on October 25, 1955 at the age of 12. Prior to her passing, Sadako diligently folded paper cranes or “orizuru,” based on the Japanese legend that would grant one wish to anyone who would fold 1,000 cranes. When Sadako passed away, her school classmates continued folding cranes and today, the origami crane has become an international symbol of peace, and people, throughout the world.
The 1,000 cranes remained on display at the Izumu Taishakyo Mission for the 28th Annual Hiroshima Commemoration and Peace Ceremony that was scheduled to take place on Monday, August 7, 11 am – 12 noon.
About Let’s Get Together Hiroshima and Honolulu Student Exchange Program
Since 1960, the YMCA of Honolulu and the Hiroshima YMCA have participated in an annual international student exchange program that focuses on world peace. Alternating hosting duties, the students and families of the YMCAs of Honolulu and Hiroshima welcome each other into their homes and participate in activities aimed at building bonds between the young students. Honolulu’s bonds with Hiroshima dates back to 1959 when the two were established as sister cities.
At that time, the Mayor of Honolulu, Neal Blaisdell, and the Mayor of Hiroshima, Shinzo Hamai, met in Hiroshima to strengthen international understanding and friendship. From this meeting came a vow to work for peace and to maintain an exchange of ideas between two cities. The mayors then pledged a continuance of a person to person relationship between the two cities.
Today, the Let’s Get Together program continues with the YMCA of Honolulu and the Hiroshima YMCA participating in an annual international student exchange program that focuses on world peace each summer. This summer, the YMCA of Honolulu students hosted the Hiroshima YMCA students.
About the Hiroshima Peace Bell
In 1985, the Hiroshima Prefectural Government presented a replica of the Hiroshima Peace Bell as a gift to the people of Hawaii, in recognition of their long-standing and strong relationship. These bonds include a sister city relationship established in 1959 between Honolulu and Hiroshima and a sister chamber relationship between the Honolulu Japanese Chamber of Commerce and the Hiroshima Chamber of Commerce and Industry created in 1981.
The Hiroshima Peace Bell was dedicated and placed next to the Izumo Taishakyo Mission in 1990. Since 1990, a Hiroshima Commemoration and Peace Service has been held annually. This year, 2017, marks the 28th annual service.

How to Make a Paper Crane (Origami) - Rob's World
Like this Vid? Check out the entire series HERE:
Explains how to turn a piece of printer paper into an origami crane. It involves some new and advanced folds which I go through step by step on how to perform. Hope you enjoy!
Traditionally, the Japanese crane is expanded at the very end, although I usually prefer not to do this. To do this, you can perform the following: 1) Just grab each wing and pull them gently apart until the middle part inflates or expands, or 2) try blowing on the bottom of the crane to inflate it that way (doesn't work as well for me).
NOTE: This is NOT an action model, meaning it does NOT FLAP, nor is it supposed to. To make a FLAPPING BIRD please see the link below***
