Today is Tanabata – Star festival

The Star Festival is derived from the legend of Vega and Altair, who are separated by the Milky Way.

The star festival will be held on July 7th.

On that day, we display bamboo grass with a strip of paper and ornaments to celebrate their reunion.

When we write a wish to the strip of paper and display it, it is said that a wish comes true.

Some cites in Japan celebrate actively and gorgeously. Sendai city and Hiratsuka city (it is in Kanagawa prefecture) are well known as big star festival.
