Organized kiting in Japan is controlled by the Japan Kite Association. Based in the heart of Tokyo, they exist to keep the art of tako alive in Japan. Unfortunately, as with other cultural and country-specific rituals and rites, kiting is on the verge of extinction. Many of the master builders and fliers in Japan are in the autumn of their years and have few if any apprentices will can take over when they are gone. There is a very real danger that in the coming years that many of the tako that grace the skies of Japan will fly no more. For now you can still check out this fine fun and traditional art form at the locations below.
