Tanabata, or the Star Festival, is a Japanese celebration held mostly on July 7 or August 7. However, country side, they celebrate this in Ausgust 13th to 16th. It honors the legend of two star-crossed lovers, Orihime and Hikoboshi (Vega and Altair), who are separated by the Milky Way and allowed to meet only once a year. People celebrate by writing wishes on colorful paper strips and hanging them on bamboo
