Today, July 7th is TANABATA, an annual celebration of the stars.
According to a legend, the two stars, Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair), separated lovers, are allowed to meet each other across the Milky Way only once a year on the evening of July 7th. What a romantic story…..
When this time of year comes around, people write their wishes on strips of paper and hang them on bamboo trees, along with decorations. You can see this almost everywhere in Japan.
Most famous TANABATA festival is in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture which is held on August 6th to 8th every year. This Festival is considered one of the three major festivals of the Tohoku region and over 2 million visitors come to view the festivities over the three-day event.
