While in hospital, Sadako attempted to make 1,000 origami cranes in the belief
that the gods would grant her a wish. Some reports have her completing 644
cranes before she died, and her friends making up the difference before
burying them with her. The story was made into a book, Sadako and the 1, 000
Cranes. Her statue stands in the Peace Park in Hiroshima.
