Tanabata
- Star Festival |
| Tanabata
is the Star Festival held on July 7th. It is based on a Chinese
legend in which Altair (the star of the herdsman) and Vega (the
star of the weaver-princess), though separated on opposite sides
of AMA NO KAWA (the Milky Way), meet once a year on this day. Children
write their wishes on strips of fancy paper, which they put on displays
made of the branches of bamboo trees. |
