this was the book..........2007-07-31

This book changed everything. I was too young to read it, according to the librarian in the paper crane filled library. I wanted to know what the older kids knew, what they found out by reading this book, and why they folded paper cranes and hung them everywhere. This book, for me, was like a starter course in compassion and a glimpse of a larger world, and the real significance of history. I would reccomend this book to everyone. Like all truly great children's literature it can affect you if you read it as I did, at six years old, and it can affect you just as deeply if you read it as an adult.

The book that I refused to not finish.......2007-06-05

This book of Sadako gave hope, love, happiness and sadness into my eyes and heart. The discriptive paragraphs and emotional pictures kept me hooked. I don't know of anyone on earth who would have so much hope and faith in herself. Sadako set a goal, and tried her hardest to finsih, it, she was so determined, poeple finished her goal for her. I admire Sadako and all of her faith and hope. Not for one second did she lose hope. But now I know of the disease, and how much Sadako was admired.

Sadako.......2007-04-11

I like the book, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. In the story, Sadako is a very good runner she loves to run. One day Sadako was running she started getting dizzy. From reading the story, I learned that when you start to feel dizzy or something you need to tell someone and don't give up hope. After reading the story, I felt sad because she died. I would recommend this book to my friends because it teaches about how to be abgood friend.

Sadako and the Thosand Paper Cranes.......2007-04-11

I loved the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. In the story Sadako
loves to run. She ran in the relay race. Then she felt dizzy spells.She kept them a secret.The dizziness came from the radiation from the bomb.
Then Sadako got leukemia and she was preparing for death. From reading this story I learned that when you are less fortunate, your life is harder like Sadako's. When you are fighting for your life, you seem hopeless, but there is always hope. After reading the story, I felt sad because Sadako fought for her life and she died a hero. I would recommend this book to a best friend because it is a good book about hope.

Book Description

The inspirational story of the Japanese national campaign to build the Children's Peace Statue honoring Sadako and hundreds of other children who died as a result of the bombing of Hiroshima.

Ten years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Sadako Sasaki died as a result of atomic bomb disease. Sadako's determination to fold one thousand paper cranes and her courageous struggle with her illness inspired her classmates. After her death, they started a national campaign to build the Children's Peace Statue to remember Sadako and the many other children who were victims of the Hiroshima bombing. On top of the statue is a girl holding a large crane in her outstretched arms. Today in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, this statue of Sadako is beautifully decorated with thousands of paper cranes given by people throughout the world.

One Thousand Paper Cranes... inspirational!.......2006-05-07

Are you the type or reader who enjoys reading about real people who fight through tough situations? Well, then this book is for you to read. This wonderful book was about a girl named Sadako who got radiation from the atomic bomb in World War II when she was only two years old. Sadako really loved school and was on a Bamboo Relay Team at her school. She had a race and when she was running, she started to get dizzy. She went to the hospital and turns out, she got the Atomic Bomb Disease. Sadako was really scared to die at a young age of 12 years old. Her friend came to visit her in the hospital, and she told Sadako that if you fold 1000 paper cranes, you get a wish from the gods. That made Sadako determined to fold 1000 paper cranes.

When I was reading this book, I couldn't stop reading it. I really got to know the main character, Sadako, and I liked her a lot. She had a ton of hope, determination, and courage to fold one thousand paper cranes so she can get better. She's an example to all the children who has diseases or illnesses. This book was such a powerful and inspirational book to me.

I learned from this book that you can truly accomplish your goals and dreams when you are going through something really difficult. Sadako showed readers this. It made me realize that I really can do anything I put my mind on. So readers, if you are tempted to read this very inspirational book, go ahead. Read it!

One Thousand Paper Cranes : The Story of Sadako and the Children's Peace Statue.......2006-03-24

The theme of the book is that war kills innocent people and dropping an atomic bomb is unconscionable act that must never be repeated. The author actually went to Japan and stayed with Sadako's family in order research this book. It is well written. This book supplements the Eleanor Coerr version of the story. It gives additional information about what Sadako's leukemia was like for her and her family.

Memorable and heartbreaking..........2003-12-14

...this is the kind of book that continues to haunt you long after you put it down. I read this book in elementary school and then stumbled across it as an adult - even re-reading it as an adult, I was shocked by the descriptions of the damage done by the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This book is a must-read. As an American, I believe that the atom bomb was a necessary evil to stop World War II; however, as a human, I believe the atom bomb was a horrible atrocity unleashed on millions of people, including a child named Sadako whose story is poignantly told here. This book is an eye-opener, a heart-wrencher and a beautiful story.

A book everyone should read.......2002-10-20

No matter what side you are on in the debate on the use of the atomic bombs during WWII, this is a "must read". As a science teacher, I read this book to my Advanced Chemistry class at the conclusion of our nuclear chemistry unit. However, I have yet been able to read it through without crying. And I have not been alone. Sadako's story should teach us all a lesson. My students may not remember the specifics of chain reactions or nuclear decay. But I guaruntee that they will remember Sadako's story. I want them to be informed citizens who make educated choices. One thing that history has shown us is that it repeats itself. What a horrible thought.......that another little girl become a "Sadako". I would hate to think that next time her name might be an American one......It chills me to the bone.

A Wonderful Companion Book to Eleanor Coerr's Sadako.......2001-01-15

Often fiction leads us into a story and leaves us helpless to change anything. Takayuki Ishii's book takes us into the real world of Sadako Sasaki who died of leukemia years after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. This is a well researched document, with family and classmate interviews, which sheds light on the real child whose world changed as a result of adult decisions. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is home to a statue commemorating Sadako's life. It was built by the donations solicited by her classmates. Each day children from all over the world send folded paper cranes to this statue in her memory and in the hope for world peace. It is rare for a teacher to have the opportunity to compare and contrast a fictionalized event with the non fictional and rarer, still, to then have the opportunity to construct a real life project, from classroom reading, for students which will make the voices of the children heard. I am a teacher and the children in my school, the Henry Viscardi School, forwarded their cranes to the statue. This moving experience is recorded on our school Web site (under Japanese Odyssey)and was inspired by Reverand Ishii's book. The book had been published first in Japan. Random House has now made it available in the United States and as word of its publication reaches schools and libraries, it is destined to become a "must have" for every American classroom.

Book Description

With a restraint that barely conceals the ferocity of his characters' passions, one of Japan's great postwar novelists tells the luminous story of Kikuji and the tea party he attends with Mrs. Ota, the rival of his dead father's mistress. A tale of desire, regret, and sensual nostalgia, every gesture has a meaning, and even the most fleeting touch or casual utterance has the power to illuminate entire lives--sometimes in the same moment that it destroys them. Translated from the Japanese by Edward G. Seidensticker.

"A novel of exquisite artistry...rich suggestibility...and a story that is human, vivid and moving."--New York Herald Tribune

Kawabata is a poet of the gentlest shades, of the evanescent, the imperceptible. This is a tragedy in soft focus, but its passions are fierce."--Commonweal

Customer Reviews:

Essence of sublime.......2007-08-28

Thousand Cranes is a beautifully and simply written tale of human tragedy. Kawabata takes us, with subtle nuance and few words, into the strongly passionate and complex world of human relations.

With the world of Cha dou (the way of tea) as the back drop, what follows is an intricate web of deceit and revival of old repressed emotions, which are intricately woven with a Zen like quality between the characters as the story progresses.

A young man, Kikuji, gets an invitation to a tea ceremony by Chikako, the long ago spurned mistress of his dead father. He doesn't know that it is a manipulation on her part to set him up for an arranged marriage meeting with a student of hers. Also showing up at this ceremony is the woman, Mrs.Ota, who took Chikako's place as Kikuji's father's long time mistress. Chikako has been jealous of Mrs. Ota and conspires against her and her daughter while she insinuates herself into Kikuji's life.

Mrs. Ota, still in deep grief over the loss of Kikuji's father, connects with Kikuji at the ceremony. The fine line of reality gets blurred when both of them start feeling a deep nostalgia about the father, and they sleep together, filling Kikuji with an awe of the sublimeness of woman that he has never felt before and offering Mrs. Ota a temporary reprieve from her pain.

Ota's daughter, Fumiko, takes on the guilt of her mother's past with Kikuji's father and the new development of what has happened between her mother and Kikuji, and begs Kikuji to stay away from her mother and to forgiver her.

Chikako is a bitter woman who stayed in Kikuji's household even after the affair with the father was over, and is: conniving, cruel, and cares not about who she hurts. She has become a Tea Ceremony master and it is in this context that she does her manipulating and ruining of lives.

Centered in all of this is Kikuji, as was his father before him. While he doesn't really want to deal with the recriminations of his father's past, he is forced to do so. He feels loathe to marry even though he finds the girl introduced to him very fine. With Mrs. Ota he feels both something warm and freeing, and yet, he also feels the need to hurt her at the same time, wondering if she is seeing his father in him. Chikako keeps forcing herself into his space and he doesn't do much to deter her from doing so even though he despises her. And she takes advantage of that by trying to manipulate his life against him.

Outside of that, he develops a very sweet relationship with Fumiko, who is really suffering about her mother's past and recent actions, and he tries in some way to ease her pain. The line gets blurred here as well as he has a hard time distinguishing between her and her mother, seeing her mother in her until the end when he sees her as separate.

All of this culminates in a final tragedy that seems a waste.

Although an actual traditional Tea Ceremony is not ever explicitly done in this book, the tradition and refinement of it is passed on through the accoutrements, which are hundreds of years old, and which have passed from Mrs. Ota to Kikuji's father and from Kikuji's father to him. The use of these tea bowls and utensils through out the story keeps a thread of connectivity and deep emotion going between the characters and suggests a continuum of tradition, and, breakage from it as some of the bowls get destroyed.

Kawabata's writing is a pure expression of the Japanese mind and culture, which I feel westerners will not understand immediately unless they have had some exposure to the eastern way of thinking. I myself spent years living in Japan, studying the language, trying to grasp the Japanese mind, which is illusive at best, even now. However, if you are willing to read this book outside the confines of the western mind, with another part of you, then this book is an exquisite work of poetry and art that is well worth the experience.

Tea without Sympathy.......2006-09-21

Kawabata, in this book, produces a characteristic sense that, yes, indeed, this is true: that the author not so much invents or writes as records facts.
Repressed passions and pain, conflicted desires, apathy, pessimism and hopelessness are all part of Kawabata's landscape, as well, and here, he has found a setting for these emotions in tea. Know nothing about tea? It's allright, you know something about life, and that's what we're talking about.

Evanescent Eroticism and Death, the Japanese Forte.......2006-06-14

The crane is a symbol of long life in Japan, ironically enough for this story. The title of the book comes from the cranes decorating a kimono worn by a significant guest at the tea party about which this story revolves. My favorite of Kawabata's novels, there is in Thousand Cranes a deep primordial eroticism. That is normal in Kawabata's work, but this story evokes perhaps the best example, even better than Snow Country. One of the satisfying pleasures of reading Kawabata is that he puts you in touch with Japan's sexual tension in the way a good Bordeaux might have connected you with enjoying red wines. You realize immediately you're onto something complex, and it is going to take a while to understand its depth.

If you can imagine love and desire in the quality of an intense dream, that is how this story begins to unfold. But like a cherry blossom, that kind of love is fleeting. Reality barges in to destroy its budding beauty. Withering jealous resentment worms its way into love it cannot abide, insinuating itself to take its revenge for perceived offenses, perhaps inherited. Alexander Pope wrote a poem about love between Peter Abelard and his student Eloisa that on one level reminds me of the depth and quality of feeling Kawabata manages to craft in Thousand Cranes. It is the kind of love some cannot live with. Here is an excerpt from one stanza in Eloisa's voice that I think captures that understated texture of desperation in Kikuji's and Fumiko's relationship in this novel:

Far other dreams my erring soul employ,
Far other raptures, of unholy joy:
When at the close of each sad, sorrowing day,
Fancy restores what vengeance snatch'd away,
Then conscience sleeps, and leaving nature free,
All my loose soul unbounded springs to thee.
Oh curs'd, dear horrors of all-conscious night!
How glowing guilt exalts the keen delight!
Provoking Daemons all restraint remove,
And stir within me every source of love.
I hear thee, view thee, gaze o'er all thy charms,
And round thy phantom glue my clasping arms.
I wake--no more I hear, no more I view,
The phantom flies me, as unkind as you.
I call aloud; it hears not what I say;
I stretch my empty arms; it glides away.
To dream once more I close my willing eyes;
Ye soft illusions, dear deceits, arise!

The end of Thousand Cranes is haunting. I don't believe there is anything in Japanese culture more profoundly different from the Western view of things than how one lives with love or fails to do so, or for that matter how a good author writes about it. Restraint is the word that comes to mind. That, it seems, is what this story is about.

Stain of a dead woman's lipstick taints the rim of a teacup.......2004-06-27

The metaphor used in "Thousand Cranes" is tea, but not simple dried leaves in boiled water. Along with tea, in the tradition of the Japanese tea ceremony, is the complete picture created by the individual pieces of the art, bowels and whisks and jugs for carrying water. The various utensils, each with their own pedigree, are only able to find their true use in the hands of a Master of tea.

In this story, the metaphor is skillfully brought to play in Kikuji, who has inherited his father's women and guilty past in the same way that he has inherited his tea cottage and collection or rare cups and utensils. Chikako, a discarded mistress of Kikuji's father, is the poisonous Master of tea, manipulating others with the same subtle skill she maneuvers the ceremony. In equal measure, Fumiko, daughter of Kikuji's father's favorite mistress, also struggles under the burden of inherited guilt, even while seeking to escape, giving her mother's tea items to Kikuji as gifts yet not able to free her mind with the same ease.

True to Kawabata's style, the unsaid rings much more loudly than the dialog, and surface tone of calm belies a raging whirlpool sucking the characters deeper and deeper. I found "Thousand Cranes" a captivating read, and was unable to put it down until I had finished the story. A small book, it does not lack for power.

Too sentimental.......2003-09-17

The sentimental and sexual education of a young man, who gets entangled in a spider web concocted by one of his father's mistresses.
The story is shrouded in an emotionally restrained and melancholic (remembrances of the passed away) atmosphere, which is always brutally broken by the interventions of the devilish intriguer.

The novel is full of symbols, but should more appeal to the Japanese than to foreign readers. The tea ceremony is an important part of it, e.g. the author relates the deep impressions made by tea sets on the participants (because they have hundreds of years of age and their ancestors drank already out of them).

Some reactions of the main characters seemed to me exaggerated and they cried nearly on every occasion.

Yami Teaches More Than Origami.......2000-06-28

I've never written an on-line review before, but this book wholeheartedly deserves such attention. While teaching a unit on Japan for my sixth grade class, I came across this book at the public library. As I read the introductory piece to learning the basics of origami, I soon learned about this wonderful man, Yami. What an amazing, touching story about personal loss and the healing power of origami. I had not expected to find an instructional book that dovetailed so well with my curriculum and the message in the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. I was and am so moved by Yami's story and the intricate art of origami that I am online to purchase this book. It's easy to follow the guidelines for this ancient art of paper folding, but this book's greater gift comes from the author's candid tale of the healing power behind this ancient Japanese tradition. I've been sharing my newly learned paper folding skills with children and in doing so, I am able to pleasantly recall Yami's wisdom for life, courage, and healing. This book is truly magnificent in the infinite gifts that it gives to its readers!

WONDERFUL! I love this book!.......1999-09-21

I absolutely love this book. Although it doesn't include color photos or diagrams, the steps appear clear -- and it contains much of the meaning and legends behind origami (such as the significance of the thousand cranes, how origami can help alleviate grief, etc.), none of which I have ever seen before.

I absolutely love this book, and cannot sufficiently recommend it.

Sadako y las mil grullas de papel.......2002-05-10

El libro Sadoko y las mil grullas de papel fue escrito por:Eleanor Coerr. El libro de Sadako se trata de una niña que a sus doce años resulto tener leucemia. A los doce años se murio. Le gustaba correr pero un dia se canso y le dio como asthma. El doctor le aviso que ella tenia leucemia y que tenia que guardar reposo para ver si se curaba. Un amigo llamado Chizuko le conto una historia de Japón que si hacia mil grullas de papel se iba se iba a reponer. No llego a hacer mil grullas y murio. Su muerte fue triste.

El mensaje del libro fue una esperiencia muy mal para las personas que estuvieron enfrentando a esa bomba destructiba.
Ella trato de sobre vivir de aquella bomba fatal. Su sueño fue ser corredora yno cumplio su sueñpor esa enfermedad que aca bo con su vida. No disfruto su vida normal por causa de esa enfermedad tan fea. Yo pienso que cuando lucho por vivir fue una cosa espectacular si fuera otra persona se iba a morir por no luchar por su vuda.

Me encanto que Sadako murio luchando por su propia vida maravillossa. Que mal si no pudiera terminar mi sueño y muriera yo. En este mundo hay muchas enfermedades que te pueden matar y que bueno que yo no tengo ni una enfermedad. Su intento de luchar fue enban. Y tuviera que cambiar el titulo yo le pusiera "Aferarce ala vida". Su muerte fue una mal desgracia. Recomiendo este a las personas.

Mi libro Sadako.......2002-05-10

Entendi que cuando la bomba atomica exploto muchas personas personas murieron y algunas se enfermaron. Cuando internaron a Sadako en un hospital, se encontro a una niña que era muy buena con ella, paso el tiempo y se empesaron a querer mucho. Sadako, sufrio mucho por la muerte de su abuelita y por la enfermedad que tenia, esa enfermedad se llamaba leusemia. Su sueño de ella era pasar su cumpleaños con su familia y asi fue. Paso el tiempo y ella empesaba a tener dolores estomacales, dolores de cabeza y otras cosas más. Al siguiente dia ella amanecio muerta.

Para mi este mensaje es que ese libro esta muy bonito y ala vez muy triste. Encontre hasta atras que era una historia verdadera, y me sorprendio porque nunca pense que una bomba atomica hubiera explotado. No se como sacan esas historias verdaderas y me gustaria saberlo algún dia. Felicito al autor porque es un grandioso libro para mi.

Cuando lo lei me dio como emoción y cuando hiba lellendo como enmedio me dio tristeza porque lei que Sadako tenia leusemia y su abuelita se habia muerto. Yo lei que era una historia verdadera, y cuando lo lei me sorprendi, porque era una historia verdadera, entonces me dio tristeza, porque no creia que una niña a esa edad tubiera leusemia. Mi opinion del libro es que yo nunca crei que hiba a leer un cuento verdadero, pues de lo que yo se, es que hay muchos casos asi. Asi mismo que el autor que saco este libro, siga adelante como lo a hecho.

Un Libro bueno.......2002-05-10

Esta muy bonito casi y su madre estubo enbarasada y siempre hacia grullas de papel. llego a a tener una bandida no podia caminar y mas emfermedaad de la bamba y rapidamente otomica furso com cumendo a poco a poco las fuersas de sadako y sention especial. de ue regreso por primera vez se alegro de la tranquilidar de su abitacion de su mama y permanese sentada a su lado largo rato de vez sadako cambio.

El emergencia de sadako y su madre le pego la enfermedad y manana de agosto de 1954. sadako se desperto sebistio de prisa y salio coriendo a la calle a sol de la manana regleja vealizo de color costana ralizo su pelo negro. no habia nube en el cielo azul sala ora una buena senal sadako siempre buscaba senales de buena suerte.

La opinion de el libro que su mama de sadako estaba embarazada y estaba y en el hospital y sadako en no odia caminar y cuando camino sadako se fue vez su mama.

Sadako y las mil grullas de papel.......2002-05-10

El libro fue escrito por: Eleanor Coerr. El libro se trata de una niña que soñaba con ser corredora. Pero cuando ella contaba con tan solo dos años de edad cuando aventaron una bomba atómica. Sadako murio cuando contaba con tan solo doce años por causa de la bomba atómica que le causo una emfermedad que se llama leusemia. Para la ciudad de y Hiroshama, Sadako se comvirtio en una niña con mucha valentia que lucho contra la emfermedad pero no lo logro. A Sadako le hicieron una misa por la valentia al luchar contra la emfermedad.

El mensege que yo tuve fue que ana niña de tan solo doce años lucho por su vida. Yo pienso que ella si lucho por su vida. Porque si fuera otra persona hubiera dicho ya no tengo vida y no les importaria su vida y a Sadako si le importo la vida de ella. Tambien yo hubiera hecho lo mismo por mi vida ó la de otra persona de mi familia. Porque yo si amo a mi vida y hay otros que no. A mi me gustari conocer a Sadako.

Mi opinión es que pasaron cosas que no me gustaron. Pero el libro esta muy bueno u quiero felicitar a la autora. Porque se isnpiro en esta historia. Que yo creo que todos que leieron el libro deben estar contentos. Yo recomiendo este libro Sadako y Las Mil Grullas de Papel. Porque no tiene esenas fuertes.

Heartwarming.......1999-04-20

This Book is great if you want to add another book to your collection this is a great one to add. It is an inspiring book that will make you open your eyes and go through the pain people with leukemia have.
