Dnipro University of Technology — Compliance with the Time

The Ukrainian-Japanese Centre invites you to take part

in the Day of Japan on May 21, 2014

To honour this event the action in making paper-cranes, the traditional Japanese symbol of peace, will take place near the fountain between Buildings 1 and 2 at 12:00

Come and support peace with your hands.


Every man in Japan knows the story of Sadako, the girl who suffered the radiation sickness caused by the explosion in Hiroshima. The girl believed in her recovery due to her making a thousand paper cranes. She began to present them to the other sick people. Since that time a thousand cranes became a symbol of longevity and peace.

It is what we decided to make on the Day of Japan, May 21. Let each of us, the guests of the festival, bring a self-made paper crane. We shall make a thousand of them in order to recollect our common desire of peace we need above all!
