Tanabata (七夕meaning "Evening of the seventh") is a star festival. It celebrates the meeting of Orihime and Hikoboshi. The river of star separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year. Since the stars come out at night, the celebration is held at night.

People generally celebrate this day by writing wishes on tanzaku (短冊), small pieces of paper, and hanging them on bamboo.

Today's japanese sweet, sweetfish(鮎ayu).
