Tanabata is coming soon☆
Tanabata (meaning "Evening of the seventh") is a Japanese star festival,
derived from the Chinese star festival.
It celebrates the meeting of Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair).
The Milky Way, 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 the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar.
Since the stars come out at night, the celebration is held at night.
On the day of Tanabata, people write their wishes on the strips of paper(tanzaku) and hang them on bamboo branches....................
People just think and write their wishes.....and someone said people become
'pure heart' really like child.......yeah, I found peace of mind in this event :)
We wished for recovery of our staff, Ono san, last year and it came true :)
And this year....we can see many wishes here....marriage, health, happiness...
what is your wish....let's see.......
I can imagine whose wish....Mr.H...
Hope your wish come true☆
