It was Tanabata on 7th July 2007. Tanabata is also known as the Stars Day. Saw papers with wishes hanging onto bamboos. I wrote my wishes on the papers and hang there too…

< Saw this in Nagasaki JR Station. Nagasaki is a harbour, so can see lots of ship models.

It was Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival on 15th July, I was in Fukuoka for a short while just to see their preparation for this festival. On that day, men will be carrying these heavy floats and go around the street. it weights about few tons!


This is so cute!
