And the kite is launched! Kite maker Zhang Wenzhi became interested in large banzao whistle kites that are fitted with carved bamboo whistles that sound in the wind when carried aloft. He finished this kite just today and made it specially for the #2014Folklife Festival in celebration of #July4th! (at Smithsonian Folklife Festival)
