Kite-flying
is one of the popular traditional childhood pastime during the New Year holiday.
My grandchildren headed for the nearby multipurpose grounds with a kite in each hand.
The day was so windy that kites easily flew up to the sky.
They enjoyed kites dancing in the air feeling the tug of the strings.

The photo below is four years ago
when the eldest F was five.
She had to run across the park with hardly any wind
She had to run across the park with hardly any wind
after a kite was tossed up into the air.
Kites flew along
with lots of wind
rising up to the sky through clouds.
When one child carelessly let go of the spool of string,
the kite looked having gained freedom
but unfortunately the runaway kite got tangled in a tree.

The youngest will be running wild in the park, too, next year.
Each child is happy to be outdoors even in the cold wind
as is called "child of Wind" in Japanese saying.

Last but not least...,
I had hoped the start of a promising New Year
but things don't look so easy.
My prayers and thoughts for all who/which have struggled to survive
in disasters both natural and man-made.
Wish you, Friends, good health and peace of mind for 2020.
When there comes strong wind, may you can rise high against the wind
like a kite.
