    I first learned about Tanabata through an online friend. He is Japanese and he sent me some photos of the Tanabata Festival celebration in his city. Unfortunately, we have lost contact but I’m glad that he introduced me to the wonderful story of Tanabata. I hope he is doing well and I hope that he will enjoy the Tanabata this year.

    Ah, your Japan holiday featurettes are much appreciated! Very clear and informative-- as a big fan of Japanese culture, I can't get enough of these~ Interesting how many holidays fall on the "month+day" double scheme; i.e. Girl's Day 3/3, Children's Day 5/5, and Tanabata 7/7. I wonder how many more holidays are like this? Looking forward to seeing more, if you plan to make 'em!

    • @tc2334
      @tc2334 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This month+day double scheme originally comes from China. While 5/5 and 7/7 are still widely celebrated, 3/3 isn't that widely observed anymore, unfortunately. 5/5 is the Dragon Boat Festival. While 5/5 and 3/3 may have been associated with boys and girls respectively in the past, modern China uses the "international" Children's Day to celebrate kids on 6/1.
