Comment - This surimono carries an
edo kaku
kite, and shows the a kanji character for "Dragon" (Ry¨±, ýˆ).
Kiteflying was a typical pasttime for boys during the New
Year's Season. The kite line lays on the ground, a small air
swing to carry paper scraps or other small items into the air
for dropping then from above, lays adjacent to the kite line.
A poem (not read) dominates the center and left half of the
surimono.
