    七夕: Tanabata. The Japanese noun '七夕 (たなばた)' refers to the Tanabata festival, also known as the Star Festival, celebrated on July 7th.

During Tanabata, people write wishes on colorful strips of paper (tanzaku) and hang them on bamboo branches. Example sentences: Let's celebrate Tanabata「七夕を祝いましょう」(たなばたをいわいましょう). I wrote my wish on a tanzaku for Tanabata「七夕に短冊に願いを書きました」(たなばたにたんざくにねがいをかきました).
