Summay:

The embossed figure flies a ryu kanji (dragon ideograph) Edo kite. This is an easy way to get a dragon kite. I enjoy the conceptul play around object, picture and symbol. In the background we see two more rectangle kites and two Rokkakus, with a castle towering in the distance. There is a folded piece of notepaper tipped inside.
