July

Summer in Japan is filled with cicadas, watermelon, wind chimes, and, of course, festivals. Tanabata, the star festival, is celebrated on the seventh day of July. According to legend, the sky god separated his daughter Weaving Star from her beloved Cowherder Star. They were placed on opposite sides of the Milky Way where their intense love couldn’t interfere with their daily tasks. Since then, the two stars are allowed to meet only on the seventh of July. If rain prevents them from meeting on this date, they have to wait another full year. To bring good luck for the annual meeting, the people write good wishes on colored slips of paper tied to green bamboo sticks. The local god is also carried through the streets in a crowded parade.
