✨ TANABATA by TEN TEN ✨
📖 What is Tanabata (七夕)?
Tanabata, or the Star Festival, is a beautiful Japanese tradition honoring the love story of Orihime and Hikoboshi — two stars (Vega & Altair) separated by the Milky Way, who can only meet once a year on July 7th.
Over time, Tanabata has become a celebration of love, connection, and dreams. People write their wishes on colorful strips of paper called tanzaku and hang them on bamboo trees, hoping they’ll come true.
💞 Come experience a day to:
– Celebrate love and reunion
– Reflect on your hopes and dreams
– Connect with Japanese culture, nature, and community
