Way back when it was Tanabata, we saw the best matsuri parade ever. There was taiko, acrobats, and a squillion dancers.

Photos of lanterns. Seriously, there were a lot of lanterns.

This weekend was the Sendai Tanabata Festival, which is kind of a big deal. We’re lucky to be in Sendai for it, so our friends Abigail & Shelly came up from the Fukushima coast to make a weekend of it. And did we ever!
