Thank you for viewing. This is a traditional kite from the Aizu region. It is famous for being flown from within the castle during the Boshin War to raise morale. Also known as "Berokundashi," its unique, powerful appearance, with bulging eyes and a protruding tongue, and its vivid, multi-colored design are prized as a ward against evil. It is 54.5 cm tall and 42 cm wide. Why not display it in your home as a talisman? Thank you.
