"I read Sadako+s life story when I was only six years old and she has always been on my mind since then," Mohammadi told ISNA.

Mohammadi, who finished the carpet just a few days ago, says he will take it to Japan on August 6, the anniversary of the 1945 Hiroshima atomic bombing.

"I could not finish the work for the World Peace Day, so I decided to get it ready until August 6th," he said.

Sadako Sasaki was only two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped near her home by Misasa Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan.

She was diagnosed with leukemia, or what her mother referred to as "atomic bomb disease," and was hospitalized on February 21, 1955.

Sadako died on the morning of October 25, 1955 at the age of 12 and became a symbol of Peace throughout the World.

Mohammadi+s carpet depicts a miniature image of Sadako surrounded with flags of 72 countries including Iran.

In a statement written on the reasons for creating the peace carpet, Mohammadi expresses his hope for a world free of all weapons of mass destruction.

“People who want to collect and destroy weapons of mass destruction should unite and prevent the world from being torn apart by wars,” he writes.

“Only then can we enjoy the world peace and Sadako can live to see her wishes granted.”
