May 3, 2026, Kasukabe, Saitama, Japan: Big kites are seen during the Giant Kite Festival in Kasukabe City. Participants flew enormous kites in prayer for a bountiful harvest from their silkworm farming. The celebration had occurred yearly since 1841, when a visiting Buddhist monk informed the locals that a kite was flown to pray for a plentiful harvest of silkworms. There are two most giant kites weigh 800 kg (the same weight as a small car) and are 11 meters wide by 15 meters high. The annual festival takes place this year from May 3 through May 5.
