[Tanabata (Star Festival)]
The Yearly Romantic Rendezvous of Two Stars. This event is a hybridf of Chinese lengends and customs with indigenous Japanese religious beliefs.
One of the stories:
A romantic story about the star Altair crossing the Milky Way to meet with the star Vega once a year on July 7.
Today, people write wishes on strips of paper of five different colors and hang them from bamboo. I’m sure your wish comes true.
