Japanese praying kites are children's smiling faces. What's the special meaning?

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake, Japan released many prayer kites, hoping to bring people vitality and hope. What the public didn't expect was that the kite was printed with the portrait and smiling face of the child. There is a smiling face hanging in the sky, and it looks terrible on the ground. Many netizens even commented that it was like watching Junji Ito's thriller comics.

But it is no wonder that the organizers, now all the children are wearing masks, and the portraits on the kites are all children affected by the earthquake. They did this just to bring some vitality and hope, but they didn't expect to do bad things with good intentions.

1. Ten years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the tenth anniversary is coming soon. People want to commemorate it. So the organizers intend to bring some hope to people in the form of praying for kites. In order to make the kite memorable and full of vitality, the organizer decided to print the smiling faces of the children in the disaster area on the kite.

On the day of the activity, organizers and participants fly kites, which they think will bring vitality and hope to everyone. As a result, they didn't, and all they got was spit. Many people complain that printing people on kites is too strange, just like watching thriller comics. Not only does it not make people feel hopeful, but it makes people feel scared.

2. I pray that the idea of the kite organizer is good, but when he is making a kite, he doesn't think that the picture of the kite appearing in the sky is a bad thing. However, flying kites on relevant days is a long tradition, which is found in almost every country.

People will pin their hopes on kites and pray for good weather in the coming year, or they will pin their wishes on kites and hope that God can feel them. Slowly, it became a custom. As a symbol of good luck, people think that flying kites can bring good luck to their families.

According to legend, Mo Zhai made wooden birds out of wood, which took three years to develop, and was the earliest origin of human kites. Later, Lu Ban used bamboo to improve kite materials in Mo Zhai. It was not until Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty that paper was used to make kites.

3. To do activities, we should consider kites comprehensively. It was introduced to Japan from China in the14th century, and then it gradually became a prayer for the elimination of diseases. Faced with some difficulties or disasters, Japan will hold a large number of kite-flying activities. However, when the styles of kites are all unified, it may have a bad effect.

Smiling represents hope, but it should also be used in different places. Usually when we see it, we may feel very warm, but when many smiling faces hang in the sky in rows, it seems a bit strange. The original intention of the activity is good, but before designing, we need to consider the consequences, otherwise it will become a farce similar to praying for kites.
