The Legend Behind Tanabata
Posted by ShaneS 221 days ago in Sightseeing
Tanabata is celebrated every July 7th with colorful decorations and wishes hung on bamboo branches but do you know the legend behind it?



Read the tale of the two star crossed lovers who can only meet on this one night of the year and find out where you can take part in the festivities.

I saw trees with stuff hanging form them recently and did not know what the Japanese were up to at all. Seems as if they are celebrating some old tradition.

Thanks for the article! This holiday was part of a chapter of manga I was translating, but as I've never been in Japan during July I wasn't very familiar with it. Good to know how the story went :)
