Kites

The "World Kite Museum" in Long Beach, Washington is a great place to learn about the traditions, the designs behind all the kites from different countries. After all, they have some 1500 kites on exhibit.

Many kite designs go back centuries in many countries based on folklore, religion and so forth.

This post features more Japanese (Tako) Kites. They are beautifully designed and unique in every way!

The Japanese Kite

Back to the World Kite Museum in Long Beach, Washington. Some of the the coolest kites they had on exhibit were the Chinese Dragon Kites and the Japanese Kites.

Traditional Japanese Kites are painted with bright colored dyes and constructed from hand-made paper. Bamboo is usually used for the frames.
