Tanabata

"On the seventh day of the seventh month, Japanese people celebrate Tanabata. Participants celebrate by wearing traditional Japanese Yukatas, dancing and writing a wish on a tag and hanging it on a bamboo tree. The legend of Tanabata dates back many years. Orihime and Hikoboshi were madly in love and they stopped working. kami was angry at the lovers because they stopped working. He separated the two by moving them to opposite ends of the milkyway. Kami felt bad so he allowed them to see each other on 7th day of 7th month. Everyone in the Japanese academy celebrated by wearing Yukatas, eating Japanese sweets and enjoying a performance." - Adam K
