_Tanabata—the star festival___________________________

July 7th is the Tanabata festival in Japan, a festival centered around the lovers Otohime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair), who are only allowed to meet by crossing the
Milky Way once a year on that night. It is customary
on this night to decorate bamboo with paper ornaments
and hang wishes written on small pieces of paper on them.
