July 7 is known as tanabata (七夕), literally means seven evening. It is the Star Festival. It is supposed that the two stars (Altair and Vega) which are separated on opposite sides of the Milky Way meet once a year on this day.
Unfortunately it was raining again. Since it is rainy season in Japan, it tends to rain every year. Even if it rained, there are stars above that.
So people wish something to the stars, and many people write their wishes on strips of fancy paper which is called tanzaku (短冊) and they put them on displays made of the branches of bamboo trees.
Here attached one of the bamboo trees appeared in a building. Here and there you can find those bamboo trees, and the paper are provided near there so that you can also write your wishes.
What is your wish?
