Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is an album by pianist George Winston with narration by actress Liv Ullmann, released in 1995.[3] Winston's guitar solos also appear apart from the narration, which follows the true story of Sadako Sasaki, a victim of Hiroshima bombing. Suffering from radiation-induced leukemia, Sadako spent her time in a hospital folding origami paper cranes hoping to make a thousand of them and thereby receiving a wish, one she would use to heal and live.[4]
