@yurucircle: Have you heard of Japan’s Tanabata festival before? This celebration originates from the Qixi festival in China and is based on a folktale called “The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl,” the story of two star-crossed lovers who are separated by the Milky Way and can only meet once per year, and only if the weather is clear. This colorful star festival is cosidered a precursor to Obon and has some interesting traditions that I’d love to partake in when I’m back in Japan☺️ #七夕 #tanabata #日本語 #japanese #japaneseculture
