日本の七夕(Tanabata)

Again, I am back to Japan due to work. This is the 1st weekend over here. Coincidently, it was 日本の七夕 (Tanabata).

七夕节，又名乞巧節、七巧節或七姐誕，是華人地區以及东亚各国的传统节日，在农历七月初七庆祝（日本在明治维新后改为阳历7月7日），来自于牛郎與織女的传说。

Because this is in Japan, they are celebrating it on 7-Jul (Western Calendar), but in fact Chinese celebrate it on Lunar Calendar (the 7th day of the 7th Month).

I do not know how they celebrate and what they are celebrating. Just can see these types of  "lantern" everywhere on the road. This picture was taken during my lunch at Hitotsu-bashi-Gakuen in Kodaira City, Tokyo.
