At Haruhi-en Tsuwano.

 

As is well known, July 7th is the day for the Star Festival in Japan.

 

It is a cultural tradition in which if you write a wish on a strip of paper and tie it to a bamboo branch on the day, your wish will then come true. It derives from the legend of the Vega and Altair.

 

That day, some kids of the children’s center of our community came to see us with their supervisors and had a small Tanabata party together.

Their beautiful smiles radiated glow as if they cleared up rain clouds in the sky.

Dancing and singing, holding hands together♫

May our wishes come true…☆ミ

It was so much a joyful time and everybody looked very happy.(^-^)/

We were grateful for their visit and joyful time together.

 

(Special thanks to our neighbors for the bamboo branch provided by them.)
