Event Details

To mark and acknowledge the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, volunteers from the Japan Society of Greater Hartford will lead a special workshop on origami cranes & their significance in Japanese culture. After a short presentation on Sadako Sasaki, a young girl in Hiroshima who set out to fold one thousand paper cranes before her death from radiation-induced illness, they will teach us how to fold our own cranes and mount them on hanging mobiles as symbols of peace and remembrance.
