 Tanabata is a Japanese festival celebrated on July 7th and we decorate a bamboo with origami ornaments. We write a wish on an origami strip. It has two different origins.

One is from Chinese legend and the other is from a Shinto ritual, offering strings of five color.

However, it combines and. One is from Chinese legend and the other is from a Shinto ritual. It combines and enjoyed among all ages for generations.

Since we were little, we learn about Tanabata at kindergarten and home. It has a romantic story behind.

The story is like this. Watch the video. You can search Tanabata too.

Tanabata origami ornaments all have meanings.
