These cranes made by origami are called orizuru in Japanese and are one of the classic designs of origami (Japanese paper folding technique). Legend has it that whoever manages to join 1,000 paper cranes with threads (senbazuru) will have a wish fulfilled. They became popular as a symbol of peace after World War II because of the story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who fell ill with leukemia after the Hiroshima atomic bomb and who was helped by her family and friends to fold more than 1,000 cranes during her stay in Hospital.

The broken rifle has been used as a symbol of peace since the beginning of the 20th century, when different European peace organizations used it in their protests against the First World War.
