"This is a photo of "Senbazuru", 1000 origami cranes. They are said to symbolize peace. According to Wikipedia, the Thousand Origami Cranes has become a symbol of world peace through the story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who contracted leukemia as a result of radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II."

I ran across your blog and was interested in the pics of the Battle of Okinawa tour.
I never knew there was a memorial there, but Okinawa and Japan are on my list of things to do, so I'll have to remember to check that out.
