Summary
The story of a young Japanese boy and his kite is used to introduce the land, people, and customs of Japan. Includes scenes of urban and rural life, including farmland (rice fields and tea orchards), fishing, and industry. Scenes of daily life in the city and rural area contrast with landscape views of the mountains and sea. The boy's kite becomes a mechanism for a "kite's-eye" view of the countryside.
