Wau or Kite in Malay is a uniquely designed Malayan kite that has flown since times past. It is called 'Wau' because the shape of its wing is similar to an Arabic letter (pronounced "wow"). It is a marvelous tradition inherent to the culture of the people, especially in the Eastern States of the Malayan Peninsula. Today, the kite is still widely found in East state of Malaysia which are Kelantan and Terengganu, especially during harvest time.
