【No. 0567】Tanabata

Today was Tanabata.
Tanabata (July 7) is the Star Festival, and is a day of the turn of the season in China, Japan, Vietnam, etc.
In the Tanabata, we often write our wishes on a strips of paper, and hang them on bamboo branches.
Originally in China, there was a custom of praying so as to improve accomplishments.
It was brought into Japan in the Edo period, and we came to write a wish for improvements of our calligraphy skills on strips of paper.
In the course of time, the custom gradually became something like "if you write your wish, it will come true."

七夕
今日は、七夕でした。
七夕は、中国や日本、ベトナムなどにおける節供の一つです。
我々はよく、短冊に願い事を書いて、笹に飾ります。
もともと中国では、芸事が上達するようにお祈りをする風習がありました。
それが江戸時代に日本に伝わり、習字が上達するようにと願って短冊に書いたのが始まりとされています。
そしていつの間にか、「短冊に願い事を書くと叶う」というように変化したそうです。

I made some of the corrections based on the Japanese version of your write-up :) I like the story behind this festival and probably one of the Japanese festivals that I'll never forget because my ojichan was born on the same date and I remember him telling me about it so ^^
