The Tanabata Festival


I was at Shibuya yesterday morning. 
I found some people were decorating for the Tanabata Star Festival. 
The Tanabata Star Festival is a kind of event which is said to be a combination of Chinese tradition with beliefs peculiar to Japan. 
July 7th is the day of Tanabata in Japan. 
On the day,we write our wishes on colouful stripes of paper and hang them on bamboo branches. 
I don't remember the detail of the legend about the festival. 
As I recall,it's based on a legend about a couple separated by the Milky way.... 
Anyway I'm gonna write tons of wishes on stripes of paper and hang them on somewhere. Haha...
