A friend of mine passed away a few months ago and i was invited by his family to pick out a few things to keep. These two were mounted on his ceiling. I know nothing about them, but one thing we had in common was that we are both somewhat obsessed with Japanese culture.

Wonderful!
It is always special when one gets to have a memento (of any sort) of a passed friend's things. I trust they will serve the intended purpose -- to help allow you to remember your friend fondly. Please also accept my condolences for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. I hate to say it, but these look exactly like the kites they sell at Daiso(Japanese $1.50 store). I had 3 or 4 different ones...finally sold them at a garage sale. Nice for display..and if they remind you of your friend, then they're priceless.
With sympathy of the loss of your friend who has a great family who allowed you to have something of his. A wonderful gesture. The few friends I have lost, that opportunity was never expressed. At first glance, these look like twin kites!
i think that they are twin kites, Alfie, and they probably did cost only $1.50 at Daiso. i still really like them as kind of pop culture / Japan / 1970s.
