Which Kite Games Are Played In Japan?

One popular competitive game in Japan is based on the idea of crossing kites. The object is to cut another player's kite free. This is done by winding the string of one's kite around the other person's kite string while the kites are in flight. The string is cut by friction.
Variations on the basic kite increase a person's fun. For example, children, particularly, are thrilled when a bow is attached to the top of a kite. This is so because of the loud noise the bow produces in the wind.
Here is another interesting kiteflying game. Fill a paper cone with flower petals and hold it partially closed with a thin strip of paper and a little paste. Thread this cone onto the main flying string. Gradually, the little parasol travels up the string of the flying kite. The strong wind breaks the thin strip of paper, causing a shower of petals.
