History of Kites in Japan and Other Parts of the World - http://www.art.unt.edu/ntieva/artcurr/japan/kites.htm Historians think that kites have been around for at least two thousand years, possibly longer, and we are still fascinated by them. Why do we retain such an interest in kites? Is it because of our interest in air and space travel? Kites give us a way to directly feel the energy of the wind as a force of nature.
