Tanabata Festival
Tanabata is a Japanese tradition in which people write their wishes on small, colorful strips of papers and hang them on bamboo branches. The Japanese term for these papers is tanzaku.
Traditionally in Japan, the Tanabata Festival (Star Festival) is celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th month, July 7th.
Making a wish is universal in the sense that all people, no matter their country of origin, have hopes and dreams to ful ll.
The Origin of Tanabata
It is said that the origin of Tanabata, which is also known as the Star Festival, dates back to more than 2,000 years ago. Its roots are described in an old Chinese tale. According to the tale, once there was a weaver princess named Orihime and a cow herder prince named Hikoboshi living in space. After they got together, they played all the time and began to neglect their work. This angered the king, who separated them on opposite sides of the Amanogawa River (Milky Way) as punishment.
The king relented somewhat and allowed Orihime and Hikoboshi to see each other once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. Tanabata literally means the night of the seventh. The Japanese believe that Orihime and Hikoboshi can’t see each other if the weather is rainy, so it’s customary to pray for good weather on this day and also to make wishes.
The two leading roles in "Memphis" are "Huey" (left) played by Jona- than Wheeler, and "Felicia" (right) played by Camille Gaston.
