七夕

People display a bamboo tree, ささ, decorated with colorful Origami crafts and slips, たんざく.
On the slips, people write their wishes so that stars can see and make them true. The reason why a bamboo tree is used is because the bamboo tree grows up so tall and strongly that it maight reach the sky and people think it will make it easy for stars to see their wishes.
