At the time when Tokyo was called Edo (1603-1867), adults and children alike enjoyed kite flying, and many kites flew in the Edo sky during the New Year. It is said that the popularity of kites was so great that the shogunate issued an order banning kite flying. Until the Showa period, the two games that boys played during New Year season were "kite flying'' and "spinning tops.'' However, as tall buildings began to fill the streets, there became less space for kite flying so kite flying became difficult inside Tokyo. Kites are now more often used as decorations rather than flown. However, a kite is only a kite if it can fly. Of course, the kites we make in our shop all fly well. The flying lines are set before delivery, and can be adjusted for the wind.

Flying kites high in the sky has been popular with everyday people since ancient times and it is said to bring good fortune and good luck.

It will be a great decoration for your room, or a great gift for any celebration, such as a birthday present for your child or grandchild, a wedding anniversary, a long life celebration, or a store opening.

I can also write your name, your child's name, or the name of your store on the kite.
