Yoshizumi Japanese Fighter Kit

Recommended Age: Appropriate for ages ten and up. A kite battle, and general fighter kite control, requires practice. Therefore, we recommend long tails for younger fliers. Reduce the tail’s length as skill develops. Decoration: To decorate this kite use markers, crayons, inks, or light paint. The washi paper of this kite is exceptionally light and strong. Even so, keeping decorations lightweight is important for flight. Ideal wind conditions: Light (flag on a pole gently moving, not fluttering) to Medium (a flag on a pole is steadily moving, fluttering). Materials You Supply: Markers, crayons or ink for decorating, white glue, toothpick.
