The
NOSEI Network has designed a greeting card in response to the
events
of 9-11.The card
is inspired by the story of Sadako, a young Japanese girl
dying of leukemia as a result of the Hiroshima bombing.
She believed
that if she folded 1,000 cranes she would be granted one
wish.
The story and legacy of Sadako reminds us that no small
act goes unnoticed. Nosei's small gesture was to
create an alternative
to the traditional greeting card, with the goal being to
circulate 1,000 cards to support continued actions
for peace during this
time of war. The resulting demand was higher than could
be imagined!SO
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!NOSEI

tells the story of Sadako, instructs how to fold an origami
crane, and gives
a message of peace. They are printed on high quality recycled
paper, and sold in packages of eight for only $10.Help
us send another 1,000 "cranes" into the community.

BACK
OF THE CARD: A thousand cranes: The Japanese tradition of
folding a thousand cranes to fulŪll a wish gained poignancy with
the story of Sadako, a young girl dying of leukemia as a result
of the Hiroshima bombing. She began folding a thousand cranes
for peace, but did not live to fulŪll her goal. Her classmates
picked up the task, and today, over 50 years later, cranes are
still folded in the hope that there will be an end to war.
