Flying in the
WIND
W
ith a history that may be 2000
years old, kites in Malaysia are
subjects in popular folklore and
were a part of Royal sporting life 500
years ago.
Kites have a universal fascination. After
all, no one can resist the exhilaration of
using the wind to defy gravity and make
a man-made object fly. It is an interest
that goes back thousands of years and
kites today have developed into many
forms and uses throughout the world.
Of the many regional, traditional styles,
perhaps the most popular in Malaysia
today are the Wau Bulan, Wau Kucing,
Wau Barat, Wau Jala Budi and Wau Merak.
These kites are made with bamboo frames
and are lavishly decorated with cut-paper
and foil. Decorative motifs celebrate
trees, twigs, leaves and blooming flowers
as well as other aspects of nature such
as birds, ducks, butterflies, and insects.
The Moon Kite or Wau Bulan is richly
decorated with colourful patterns of
flowers and leaves. It has a bamboo
frame, a tissue covering on which brightly
Ornate decoration reflective of local motifs
coloured paper is cut and stuck on
to make these kites so beautiful
to look at. They are constructed
to fly in a figure of eight path so
as to make the normally attached
hummer give a constant buzzing
noise. It also has the status of
being one of Malaysia's national
symbols. As such, it featured on
the reverse side of the Malaysian
fifty-cent coin in 1989.
Wau Kucing or Cat kite also has
a
hummer
attached.
Besides
helping the farmer to doze off at
night, the sound of the hummer
was believed to frighten away
evil spirits. Some even used the
patterns of sound to forecast the
following day's weather!

the
other
hand
is
wider and does not generally
have a hummer. Being painted
rather than stuck with colored
paper, the artists tend to be
more creative and less bound to
traditional guidelines with their
designs. Additionally, artists who
use Batik techniques are often
used to do the decoration.
Interestingly too, there must be
some weight savings here, since
these kites are able to stay up
in lighter winds than the other
designs. Since the winds are
often lightest early in the day,
this design is also called the Early
Morning Kite or just Morning Kite.

Merak

Subtle differences in these kites
Kite has a tail rather than a lower
sail. This kite is local to the Johor
state but is not readily accepted
into official competitions outside
Johor, perhaps because its origins
go back to Sulawesi, Indonesia,
where it is flown mainly by the
Bugis people. This variation has a
hummer like most of the others,
but seven different sounds can
be made from it due to the use
of multiple strings and tuned to
different pitches. It is usually
flown at night to accentuate the
effect of beautiful noises from
above.
The 'wau' is not only beautiful to look at but is also functional, riding the wind in a
figure-of eight path
