ISBN: 0-04-658261-4 Language: English Description: "Kite-making and kite-flying are traditional Maori crafts, the skills of which have been largely forgotten.
Once valued for their spiritual significance, and Popular with all ages for recreation, the kites themselves have all but disappeared - only seven examples remain in the world today.
Te Manu Tukutuku presents a comprehensive study of this neglected craft . Beautifully illustrated, the book provides a valuable resource not only
for those involved in kiting but also for
anyone interested in traditional Maori
culture.
Bob Maysmor is currently Director of the Dowse Museum. He is cofounder of the Dowse Art Zealand Kitefliers founder of the New Association and has been an enthousiastic kitemaker and kiteflier for many years."
