Tanabata -The Star Festival-

Evening on 7th July is Tanabata in Japan.
Its origins are in a legend about the Cowherd Star (Altair) and Weaver Star (Vega),
lovers separated by the Milky Way.
They can meet only once a year on the 7th July.

We write our wishes on narrow strips of colored paper and hang them,
along with other paper ornaments, on bamboo branches,
then pray hard that their and our wishes will come true ;p
