Today is Tanabata. Tanabata, also known as the star festival, takes place on July 7th. According to the Chinese legend, the two stars which are Altair and Vega are separated from each other by the Milky Way. However, they are able to meet every year on this day. Japanese people write their wishes on a piece of paper and hang on bamboo trees them. Legend has it that if people do this, their wishes will come true. It’s a very beautiful legend.
