02.Izumi Sagami Kite Flying Party

　I went to Izumi Sagami Kite Flying Party. We were worried about the weather in the weekly weather forecast before GW, but we were able to hold it safely. On the day, the opening was enlivened by the performance of the Okazu drum, and the Sagami kite flew high in the sky, but the wind condition where it had risen to a certain extent was not very good, and the momentum seemed to disappear.
　I have been familiar with Sagami kites since I was a child, but unlike Western kite (Kite), I remember that it was difficult to fly. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay until the end due to time constraints, but I heard that in the evening the wind conditions improved and it was flying high in the sky.
　Thank you very much for everyone at the Sagami Kite Izumi Preservation Society. I'm looking forward to seeing the appearance of Sagami kite next year.
