"Star Festival-Tanabata"
July the 7th is the Star Festival called Tanabata in Japan. Actually, my hometown celebrates it on August the 7th. I think areas which celebrate on July the 7th were following the original Chinese calendar. People wish their hope and write them down on rectangle-shaped paper called Tanzaku, and hang them on bamboo trees. I do this Tanzaku wishing in Nova Scotia, Canada every July the 7th. I have bamboo-looking trees in my yard so,I hang Tanzaku paper on them. I hope my wish comes true!
"七夕"
７月７日、日本では七夕でしたね。わたしの故郷では８月７日に七夕をします。８月７日に七夕をする地域は旧暦を現代のカレンダーに置きかえたということらしいです。七夕といえば、願いをしたためた短冊を笹につるしますが、わたしも７月７日はノバスコシアで笹の木に見立てた似たような木に短冊をつるします。願いが叶いますように！
