Yamaga lantern dancers at the Tanabata festivities at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Aren’t their costumes amazing? Tanabata is known as the “Star Festival,” and celebrates the one day each year (July 7) legendary star-crossed lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi can cross the Milky Way to meet.
Thanks so much to @yasu3835 for the magical shot!
