Those are amazing kites. Where did you find them? In the first picture, I thought it was a real hawk for a second. How fun.
Me, too! It's so realistic looking at first glance. Those ARE amazing kites!
What cool kites! They are wonderful! How blessed to have a quiet family weekend I know!
Kites are used as a fishing aid in the Solomon Islands. Kites are used by the Koreans to announce the birth of a child. Kites were used by the Chinese during battles. They were made of bamboo and had the tendency to hum and shriek in the wind which frightened the enemy. Kites in the Chinese and Japanese cultures were capable of holding or "flying" a person in the air where the person could spy or act as a sniper using bows and arrows. Many kite designs that were developed for the military or for scientific purposes can be seen at kite festivals and competitions today. Windsocks are a Japanese tradition that has caught on elsewhere. In the Japanese culture the windsocks are made in the shape of a fish called a carp and they are the symbol of strength and strong will, overcoming great obstacles to achieve their goal. Like the Chinese, the Japanese have a special day for flying kites or windsocks. In Japan it is May 5th, "Children's Day." Today, we don't need a special day to fly kites and there are many kite-flying festivals throughout the year. We can enjoy the magic of kites any time!
You nut.
