The Tanabata Star Festival

Today is the Tanabata festival in Japan.
People write their wishes on strips of colorful paper and hang them on bamboo branches.

One Tanabata event is been held in a high rise commercial building in my neighborhood, and tree bamboo branches and strips of colorful papers are prepared.

I wrote my wishes on the papers and hang them on the branch. Of course my wishes include the two which I wrote on the previous entry.

The papers are a bit too much for the branch. haha. There are my papers in that.

They are going to be burned in a shrine near there to hope people's wishes come true.
