☆A Tanabata Festival☆

The festival is usually held on July, and celebrates the meeting of Orihime and Hikoboshi .The Milky Way, a river made from stars that crosses the sky, separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year. This special day is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the unisolar calendar.
The festival spread to the general public by the early Edo period, became mixed with various Obon traditions, and developed into the modern Tanabata festival.
In present-day Japan, people generally celebrate this day by writing wishes, sometimes in the form of poetry, on tanzaku, small pieces of paper, and hanging them on bamboo, sometimes with other decorations.
This is a traditional Tanabata song:
Sasa no ha sara-sara (笹の葉　さらさら) Nokiba ni yureru (軒端にゆれる　　) Ohoshi-sama kira-kira (お星様　キラキラ) Kin Gin sunago (金銀砂ご　　　　)
Tanabata festivals are held in many places in Japan. The most famous Tanabata festival is held in Sendai. A Tanabata festival is also held in SaoPaulo, Brazil around the first weekend of July.
I thought a Tanabata festival is only Jananese custom, but many another countrise have a custom like A Tanabata festival.
