Star Festival – 七夕 tanabata

こんにちは〜 \(◕ω◕)/♥

The new month started last week! Are you enjoying summer so far?
Now that it’s July, the Star Festival is coming soon! Star Festival in Japanese is 七夕 (たなばた – Tanabata), and we celebrate it on July 7th every year.

Historically, 七夕 comes from one love story in the Milky Way. A long time ago, Altair and Vega fell in love with each other, and gradually, they became lazier and lazier about their work. So the king made them separate, but he let them meet each other only on July 7th every year.

Traditionally, we celebrate 七夕 by decorating bamboo grass with ornaments made of origami.
In addition, we write our wish on a strip of paper and hang on the bamboo grass.
During this season, you can see decorated bamboo grasses in many places, especially at shrines and temples.
