Tanabata (evening of the 7th) is a Japanese star festival filled with sweets, wonder and a pride that cannot be explained.
According to the precious legend, the Milky Way (a river made from stars that crosses the sky), separates the lovers Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair). They are allowed to meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month (July). This is the day of the Tanabata festival, when we can celebrate a tale of love in a festival or carnival setting.
My host sister knew I would love the festival so we decided grab our cameras and go.
Upon arriving I realized I was in the starry sky floating along the Milky Way because I was absolutely amazed with the lights, floats and bright colors surrounding us.
Take a look around.. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourself! I know we did.
I remember seeing a doll on camera here..
my excitement exploded into the bright colors you see everywhere.
Where should we go first??
Candy strawberries, candy Mickey’s and milky candy apples!
