8 July 2008 - 15:00Tanabata!

Yesterday (7th July) was a Tanabata Festival (Japanese Fastival). Nowadays, we called it as “A Day of Lovers,” because it celebrates the meeting of Vega (Orihime) and Altair (Hikoboshi). The Milky Way (Amanogwa), a river made from stars that crosses the sky, separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of July. Usually we hang some paper strips (Wishes for the near future), to the Bamboo tree.
