Tanabata
七夕
T
he Japanese Star Festival

Last week, the theme in the English Lounge at Toyo Gakuin University was Tanabata. This is a video made by Debbie, a teacher in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan. Debbie owns and operates a school in Hamamatsu called Hands on English. Here's what Debbie had to say about the Tanabata celebrations in Bentenjima:
From the air conditioned, tatami-covered viewing room, we watched fireworks. It is Tanabata festival time. Many people dressed in yukatas. Kids are so cute in their traditional Japanese summer outfits.

Enjoy!
