[swipe 👈🏻] The Tanabata Matsuri in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. The Star Festival has been held in the city for decades and is one of the biggest in the Tokyo area. Tanabata is a time of year where the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi, literal star-crossed lovers, are able to meet and be together. To celebrate, people write their wishes on strips of paper and hang them on bamboo branches in the hope that their dreams will also come true. (Yoshiaki Miura photos) 🎋💫
