Dear members: My name is Megumi. I am a researcher for Japanese TV program, a World War II anniversary documentary, and currently researching about the Origami paper that President Obama folded cranes and gave to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum last month. News story: http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201605290030.html
Our documentary will cover more broad areas related to WW2 including the Sadako story and recent Artificial Intelligence weapon technologies, but my mission is to find out; 1. Was the origami paper from US or Japan? 2. Who was the person helped him to fold them? 3. Do you know any schools that uses the book "Sadako” for peace education in your area? We like to film a classroom. I have read most of news articles which all basically have the same information; President Obama folded with someone’s help. We have a TV crew coming to NY and DC to film the documentary from 7/6 then LA and Sadako Peace Garden in Santa Barbara, so my desperation lead me to contact Origami fans on Meetup.com who may have any idea... Please let me know if you have any information or even rumor relate to my questions above. Thank you John for reading my message.
