Tanabata, Star festival in Japan 🎋✨

Hi, everyone, today I would like to talk about Tanabata 🎋
Tanabata is generally held on July 7, and in some areas it is held on the lunar calendar, or in August.

On this day, Tanabata decorations are displayed at shrines and shopping streets, and fairs, stalls, events, and sales are often held.

Originating in China, there is a romantic saying that the two lovers, Orihime and Hikoboshi, who live across the Milky Way, can meet once a year.

The custom is to write wishes on a piece of paper called a tanzaku and tie it to a bamboo branch.
It is colorful and beautiful.

If you are in Japan during this time of the year, be sure to stop by a nearby shrine or shopping street for a Tanabata event. 🙂
