Rokkaku Kites High in the Sky!

The traditional Japanese Rokkaku kite, so beautiful in all its simplicity. Easy to make and fly and it makes a great canvas for your creativity!
Yes, I really love the traditional Rokkaku Dako kite. I’m the happy owner of a few, both ones that I have bought and also a few I’ve made. And this is a perfect kite to start your kite building “career”. You can actually come away with making it out of one piece of fabric, straight seams only and no intricate details to worry about.
Or… you can use the (large) sail area as a canvas for astonishing pieces of art. It’s all up to you. And you’re more or less guaranteed to end up with a stable flyer when you tune the bridle right and find the correct tension for the bowlines, the lines that curve the cross spars shaping the sail for perfect flight.
So equipped with a handful of Roks, my plan was to do some Kite Aerial Videography, because the Rokkakus are excellent lifters for KAP rigs too!
However, the wind was capricious and it was difficult to get the rig up there. So I decided to put the KAP gear back into the rucksack and just fly a couple of Roks. That worked out fine!
