02.Izumi Sagami Kite Flying Party

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