The stylized lion dynamically depicted on this brilliantly colorful kite is a popular theme from mythical legend. It's especially popular in combination with peonies, as shown here, and has traditionally been a frequent decoration of folding screens, wall panels and other interior decor.

Hand-painted using dyes, this Japanese "Lion" Edo kite graphic sheet is offered in a choice of 2 sizes. Note: Framework and strings are not included. HAND MADE IN JAPAN

The veteran kitemaker who crafts this work of art is Tetsuya Kishida.

We are deeply saddened to announce that Tetsuya Kishida passed away on August 20, 2019.

His love and passion for creating and flying the Edo kites were unmeasurable. We were inspired by his artwork and our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him.
