Let's get together for the Star festival.

WHAT IS STAR FESTIVAL IN JAPAN?
Tanabata (たなばた or 七夕, meaning "Evening of the seventh"), also known as the Star Festival (星祭り, Hoshi matsuri) in Japan. It celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair respectively). According to legend, the Milky Way separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on 7 July.

MAKE YOUR WISHES UPON THE STARS!
It is associated with people of all ages making a wish, writing it on colorful strips of paper (tanzaku) and tying them to a bamboo tree. This tree may be at a shrine or simply tastefully decorate at your home.
