Learn how to build, fly, and battle with this traditional kite style called a Rokkaku. This style was invented in Japan over 400 years ago. At that time large Rokkaku kites were made from paper and bamboo and flown by teams in competition. This kite style has remained popular because it flies so well and this book shows you how to adjust it for varying wind conditions. Design suggestions are included and there are many examples for you to use. Since Rokkaku kites are steady in flight and provide a broad canvas for decoration they are popular during festivals. Rokkaku kites are also used in a kite battle which is like a demolition derby in the sky. You can try it too!"I would definitely recommend this book for people who are starting to build kites since it is an easy shape, a large kite with high impact, and a stable flyer." -Guillume
