This is a Modern piece . This piece was composed for shakuhachi by Neptune, John Kaizan in 1979 .

Kite appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Kite  (Listen)	Neptune, John Kaizan
In this piece, originally scored for shakuhachi and violin, I try to evoke some of the moods of kite flying: the initial ascent, the actual flying-wonderment, dancing in the wind, descent into a tree, and maybe even a little African wind blowing in the last movement.
