Himedaruma Kite


When the legendary Empress(Jingu Kogo) stayed in Matsuyama in the Shikoku, she realized that she was pregnant and she asked to make a doll for the purposes of easy delivery and health of her child. People say that this is the origin of the Himedaruma(Princess Daruma).


This kite has been made by a kite craftsman, who is the specialist of Himedaruma kite, for an order from a customer in Europe.
