Tanabata is held on July 7th every year.shine
Tanabata is a festival transmitted from China 1000 years or more ago.flair
and in China and South Korea is held this festival in this time too I think this festival has expanded in different respectively shape which the culture of country mixes in each country.
I introduce you the Japanese style Tanabata festival this time.up


as shown in the first photo, the branch of bamboo grass is prepared at shops and public places when the Tanabata festival approaches, and the stripe of paper(Tanzaku) that writes wishes there  be hung.pencil
Tanaba festival used to be for women who originally wished the progress of needlework in China,then now people still believe that their desire fulfill, when they hung the wish on the branch of the bamboo grass.

My daughter writes her wish on the Tanzaku(stripe of paper) at the library when we return the books.
''I want to become a cake shop'' she wrote. it means I want to work at the cake shop or be pastry chef.cakeconfident

There is many many wishes.
one of them, ''I want to be a good soccer playersoccer'' ↑↑↑↑
(I guess, he watched the world cup game then got something impression from Japan teamsmile?) the other Tanzaku, ''want to be a model'', ''be a person who work at the hospital in the future'' etc.

They said, take it bamboo if you want,hmmm some people take it to home then decorate it and hang on Tanzaku which write family's wishes.↓↓↓

The decoration that hangs to the bamboo grass and Tanzaku is usually made with the Origami(paper folding).
I will introduce you someday about ''Origami'' which is popular and traditional pleasure for children in Japan.pen

well, Tanabata has another legend except doing to hang the wish on the  bamboo grass,it is one that this was transmitted from China in old time. I explain shortly, 
Orihime(Vega) that floated on the night sky was a lady of a hard worker every day and good at weaving.
Hikoboshi(Altair) was also hard worker as cattleman.
They married as the god of the heaven admitted,then the marriage life was too happy, Orihime did not weave, and Hikoboshi did not look after the cows.
The god of the heaven knew it and was angry with them, god separated the two lovers across the Amanogawa(the Milky Way) and forbade them to meet.However, it was permitted to be only July 7th laid of the bridge once a year in Amanogawa(the Milky Way) and to meet. heart04
The star and Amanogawa disappear when it is rain then, so people worry about it two lovers(Orihime and Hikoboshi)can't meet then people wishe the day of the Tanabata festival to be clear skies for two lovers. mist

This year on July 7th, it was a cloudy sky.cloud
Two lovers couldn't meet this year......weep
What a far long-distance love they are.....but it is a married love that continues for thousands of years and so it is nothing to them can't meet one year?? sweat02

Hi. I just noticed that your blog looks like it has a few code errors at the very top of your site's page. I'm not sure if everybody is getting this same bugginess when browsing your blog? I am employing a totally different browser than most people, referred to as Opera, so that is what might be causing it? I just wanted to make sure you know. Thanks for posting some great postings and I'll try to return back with a completely different browser to check things out!
