Barndoor kite made by Scott Skinner, representing Beaufort Number 3, "Flag". Kite is in Skinner's second Beaufort Series of kites. Paper and susdake, antique bamboo, and linen line. Six-piece paper kite is made with six woodblock prints showing grain lines of the block. Grain lines play to the pun of a barn door made with wood as well as looking much like the wind lines on a weather chart. "Flag" is represented by a Nagasaki flag, Hata, kite.
