Let’s enjoy Tanabata with wearing a nice yukata!
Tanabata is an event which is originally from China. According to its historical story, July 7th is only the day Orihime(Vega) and Hikoboshi(Altair) can meet by crossing the Milky Way, only once in a year. Here in Japan, we decorate bamboo with lots of origami decorations and Tanzaku(the paper you write down your wish) and wish that Orihime and Hikoboshi can meet successfully.
→Tanabata Bamboo is at SSC now!
On Monday, July 8th, 2024, we will have Tanabata and Yukata Event! Let’s enjoy Tanabata while dressing in Yukata! We will dress limited number of students in a Yukata and you can take photos in front of a nice background with the bamboo we will prepare at Student Commons, and walk around in/near the campus. We hope you can make a good summer memories in Japan!
