    Tanabata Festival

    Summer in Japan means it’s festival season. From the


    lively Obon held to remember and celebrate one's ancestors to
    various fireworks illuminating the night sky, there’s no lack of
    opportunities to celebrate, the Japanese way. But there's one
    festival that is especially wonderful and magical: the Tanabata
    Festival.
    The Star Festival, as Tanabata is also called, is celebrated
    in Japan since 755 and thus has a long and rich tradition
    within the Japanese calendar. It has its roots in China, in a
    celebration called Qixi Festival. The tradition was picked up
    by Empress Koken, the 46th monarch of Japan, who
    introduced the festival's lore and traditions to Japan. The
    people loved the idea behind the Star Festival and it was
    welcomed with open arms.
    In most regions, Tanabata takes place during the first
    week of July, from the 1st to the 7th, the highlight naturally
    being the 7th night of the 7th month, when the two star-
    crossed lovers reunite. However, just as every region in Japan
    has its own Tanabata traditions, the time-frame in which the
    celebrations are being held vary accordingly.
