Our product "SADAKO" was presented to the Pope on April 24th at the Vatican, the headquarters of Christian Catholicism.
"SADAKO" is a stainless steel replica of a paper crane folded by Sadako Sasaki, who tragically passed away at the age of 12 after being exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. She became the inspiration for the Children's Peace Monument in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. In collaboration with "Sadako Legacy," we have successfully mass-produced the last paper crane that Sadako Sasaki folded before her death, using the latest digital technology such as 3D scanning and 3D printing, along with CASTEM's 50 years of precision casting technology.
With the mission of “giving shape to Sadako’s wishes and hopes put into her paper cranes,” the paper crane was revived as an eternal metal crane with Sadako’s wishes by combining the latest digital technology such as 3D scanning and 3D printing with CASTEM's 50 years of precision casting technology.

Additionally, this product was presented to world leaders at the G7 Hiroshima Summit in May 2023.

“SADAKO” is available for purchase at the Peace Memorial Museum and Orizuru Tower in Hiroshima.
