Kabuki is a classical form of Japanese theatre, mixing dramatic performance with traditional dance.
Japanese ''koinobori'' (carp kites) are special kites in the shape of a fish called a koi and the koi is revered in Japan as a symbol of strength.
These flags are often flown during the time of a major Japanese holiday called Children's Day.
Using colour diffusing paper, you can create your own colourful Koi Kite.
