Giant kites


On Sunday near our house there was the giant kite festival. It is held every year on the banks of the Edo River and has been going for hundreds of years.








This giant kite is one of the largest in existence. It weighs 800 kg and takes one hundred men to fly it and hang on for dear life.




About 100,000 people attend this festival over two days and there is a real picnic/carnival atmosphere to the whole thing.





The three men here are making square Japanese omelettes.
