All we could see were the kite strings.

The sign says "Arigato gozaimasu" (Thank you). I guess the bamboo was hungry for a giant kite.

This was the 2nd time in three years for the giant kite to meet a major accident. In 2005, the kite broke in half in the sky and crashed into a crowd of people below.

Members of the giant kite preservation society look on as the disappointing and heartbreaking situation is assessed.

Hanging on to the strings...

As I expected, they soon started cutting down the bamboo.

A closer look at the accident scene. The kite suffered significant damage, and it took about 20 days to repair.

As I predicted again, they started disassembling the kite so they could roll (crumple) it up and carry it out. The kite was not flown again for this festival. It was to be its final flight since it will be replaced next year.
