Happy Tanabata! 🎋✨
Tanabata is a summer festival in Japan celebrated on July 7. According to folklore, the celestial lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair) are separated by the Milky Way and can meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month. 🌟💫
In present-day Japan, many people celebrate Tanabata by writing their wishes on small pieces of paper called tanzaku (短冊).
