Traditional Kites |
Traditional eastern kites are based on designs indigenous to
the region they represent, including countries such as Bali,
China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand. Bamboo,
bark, and handmade papers are examples of materials which
might be used. Traditional western kites should be made using
designs that might have been found before 1950. These
traditional kites are generally from North and South America,
Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Traditional kites may be
crafted from modern materials, but, if all other factors are
equal, traditional kites crafted from traditional materials
will generally receive higher scores unless the use of modern
materials creates substantial improvements to the traditional
design.
