kite makers

the other day i helped my friend Yuka and her crew of kite makers put together a giant kite in japantown. the group is called the IATA (International Association of Tako Age... tako age being 'kites' in japanese). they are building the traditional kites from the hamamatsu region of japan. they will be flying this giant kite at the berkeley kite festival in july, but i hope to plan an occasion where we can fly some kites sooner...
