In this Japan in a Suitcase video, let's make some wishes on tanzaku together!

Tanzaku are made during the festival of Tanabata. Tanabata, celebrated on July 7, is a Japanese festival originating from the Chinese Qixi Festival. It celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi. During the festival people write their wishes on small pieces of paper called ‘tanzaku’ and hang them on decorative bamboo trees.

Our wish is for everyone to be safe and happy for the remainder of 2020!
