5.45pm - Pool. Children writing their wishes on strips of paper which are tied onto the bamboo branch. This is done to celebrate Tanabata (star festival) held on July 7th. It is based on a chinese legend in which Altair (the star of the herdsman) and Vega ( the star of the weaver-princess) though separated on opposite sides of the Milky Way, meet once a year on this day.

8pm I did a big clean out tonight and found this, so even though it is the wrong time of year I want to include it as a daily before I throw it out. This is a Snoopy themed Shimekazari which is a type of New Year's decoration. My fabulous litle book says "New Year's decorations are made to welcome the gods at the beginning of the year. They consist of propitious decorations." ;)

9am omiyage - "obligation" souveniers. This one says: The spirit of OKASHI. This is what gives a peaceful and pleasant mind to the human race. All the time, man seeks romance in the OKASHI. We have been working hard and carefully and work on. To weave the romance and the fancy into each OKASHI. This, at last, we have made up "THE HAKATA SEIYO-WAGASHI." If you taste the feeling and the spirit of the OKASHI which value tradition and living in the times, there is no pleasure better than it.
