In Nagasaki, kites are called 'hata', and kite flying is one of the three major festivals alongside Nagasaki Kunchi and Shorei-nagashi. Unlike other regions, it is not about flying high but about kite battles where you cut opponents' strings. Held on mountains around Nagasaki, especially Karahakei, featuring kite battles and parent-child kite flying classes. First time held in 4 years.
