The story of a girl exposed to the atomic bombing in Hiroshima and her orizuru paper cranes struck hearts around the world, and even now, more than half a century later, millions of orizuru are sent to Hiroshima annually from across Japan and the world. Each of these orizuru paper cranes holds a wish for peace.

After being stored for a certain period of time, orizuru paper cranes sent to Hiroshima are brought to vocational workshops. There, the cranes are unfolded one by one, sorted by color, and dissolved in water to be reborn.
The process of creating “Re:ORIZURU” involves a diverse group of people, including creators who give new design value to the paper cranes, manufacturers who give them shape, employment support facilities, people with disabilities, housewives who have difficulty working outside the home, and others who utilize their own strengths and abilities.

Hiroshima, a symbol of peace, is the largest tourist destination in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions, with the “Atomic Bomb Dome” World Heritage Site drawing many overseas visitors. Once it was said that no plants would grow in Hiroshima for 75 years, but now Hiroshima has recovered from its devastation, becoming a green and flourishing city. Orizuru, which enclose Hiroshima’s history and wishes from all over the world, are turned into orizuru recycled paper goods to pass down to the next generation for a brighter future.
