紙風船 kamifūsen: Japanese paper balloons from Kyoto

 

Little Japanese warblers (uguisu) have long featured as a sign of spring in Japanese art and literature. They are famously portrayed among the cherry blossoms!

 

Ingenious Kyoto paper designers Rokuhichido have made this cute character into a paper balloon - a kamifūsen.

 

Simply inflate the paper balloon by blowing into it, then complete the inflation by patting it into the air with your hand - the physics behind this actually draws air into the balloon to complete its inflation! It's a fun game too!

 

This is a simple Japanese toy made of paper pasted together. We recommend hanging it up and displaying it (there is no string attached). It's also a cute small gift!
