Tanabata   textile desigh

Tnabata is on the 7th Jury every year.

Tanabata is celebrated by writing wishes onto colored strips of paper.

Tanabata is based on the legendary meeting of two stars, Hikoboshi and Orihime, which are represented by Altair and Vega, respectively.

God permitted Hikoboshi and Orihime to reunite once a year on July 7

the princess wept that she could not cross the river. Upon hearing her cry, a flock of magpies flew over and, with their wings, created a bridge for the princess to cross the river, and reunite with Hikoboshi.

So Tanabata is held on that day every year, and it is said to be the day when lovers can reunite.
