Thousands of enormous, handcrafted paper garlands are suspended from branches of bamboo throughout Sendai for three days in August, adorning the city with curtains of color. The Sendai Tanabata Festival has evolved from a romantic tradition celebrated in Japan since the eighth century into one of the Tohoku region’s three largest summer festivals, which also include the Nebuta Festival (Aomori Prefecture) and the Kanto Festival (Akita Prefecture).
