ニカワの加減で墨の雰囲気が変化する。
雨の多い時期にはニカワが湿気への耐性が弱いため
凧絵を骨組みとを接着や絵を描く作業はしない。
大正・昭和時代の桜井地方では凧あげ大会が盛んだった。
凧職人は、地元の有力者に依頼されて
泊まり込みで畳十枚程（16.5平方）の大きな凧もつくっていた。
凧作りも常に機械化等の時代の制約を受けてきた。
我々愛好家は、つくる側と一緒になって伝承されてきたおもちゃや人形の存続と理解に努めなければならない。
”日本 雪だるまの会”の会報（1979年8月号）を要約

The mood of the ink changes with the increase and decrease in glue.
As glue is weaken in resistance against the humidity in the many seasons of rain, fastening the kite pictures to the framework, or drawing pictures, are not done.
In the Sakurai region, in the Showa period of the Taisho era, the kite flying tournament was famous.
The kite craftsman would be requested to be the chief guest in his home town,
and he would also make a kite as big as around 10 tatami mats used for sleepovers (16.5 meters)
Even kite making always had restraints of the era of computerization.
We amateurs need to join the side of creation, and make an effort for the continuation and comprehension of the toys or dolls which were handed down.
