Sendai Tanabata Matsuri: the festival of star-crossed lovers
Held August 6–8 in Sendai, this is one of Tohoku’s Three Great Festivals. Vibrant paper decorations and streamers fill the streets, celebrating the legendary meeting of the star lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi. Born from a Chinese legend, the festival symbolizes hope and romantic dreams. A breathtaking blend of color, tradition, and celestial wonder. #JapaneseCulture #Tanabata #Matsuri #Summer #Festivals

🎋THE NAME 'TANABATA'?🤔
When first imported the 'Qixi Festival' (七夕) was read as 'Shichiseki' in Japanese.
Over time, as Kikkōden merged with the native Shintō 'weaving' ceremony, the reading of '七夕' was changed to 'Tanabata' (after the looms used in the ritual).
