AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Kenji and his sumo wrestler friend Saburo build a very large kite, which Kenji carefully paints with the face of Hachimantaro, a samurai warrior. The next day, Saburo has to wrestle, but promises Kenji they will go out to fly the kite the next day. But Kenji can't wait, and decides to fly the kite all by himself.
