Tanabata is Sendai's most busy time of the year. Apparently, its like Romeo and Juliet if Romeo and Juliet were stars. People here generally dress in Yukata (tradition dress) have a huge party. It starts with fireworks that last about an hour and a half . Literally the longest fireworks of my life. Then, there are hundreds of oversized windsocks that people put out on the street. Its a pretty great time. Here are some pictures from walking around today.
