Uchinada International Kite Festival

It was rained out this year, but..

We did manage to meet an edo kite master in the few days before the festival, and share our enjoyment of kites.
The Edo kite flying competition...with really big edo kites, using really big flying line, and teams of people to launch the kites.
At Uchinada, there were kites from all parts of Japan, including this fan kite.
