Modern kite maker Tom Joe seeks to preserve the craft of kite making as well as the traditional Asian folklore behind it. Alan Takemoto illustrates Tom Joeβs tales of the Polynesian fish kite made from leaves and branches to fool fish; the Chinese general whose trapped army fashioned a fighting kite; and Shirone, the βkite crazy townβ in Japan where 20-foot fighting kites duel in magnificent matches. Children will be inspired to try making these kites.
