Their striking red, blue and white geometric designs are said to have reached Nagasaki through contacts with China and the Netherlands around the 15th century. They have also become associated with good fortune: the idea of a kite rising into the sky evokes \u003cstrong\u003erising luck and prosperity\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black whale refers to the traditional \u003cstrong\u003eNagasaki papier-mâché “Whale’s Blowout”\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The full-size float recreates a scene of traditional whaling and even sprays water from the whale’s back.
