Tanabata

Tanabata festival is coming soon on July 7th. Kids make a wish, write it down on a paper strip, and put it on bamboo leaves with some decorations. It's fun to read their wishes. A bit awkward Japanese adds cuteness to their wishes.

"I want everybody to be happy this year."

"I want my mom to stay healthy."

"I want to meet a new family without any problem." Huh? I hope this kid is talking about his dog or cat. Japanese allows to omit the subject so it's difficult to tell who is going to meet a new family.

Forgot to take a picture but one wish strip says, "I want to be an Ultraman."
