Japan’s largest festival in Sendai, Miyagi
How beautiful it is!! You can enjoy a large-scale art as much as Japanese decorations for free in early August.
The Sendai Tanabata Festival in 2019 attracted 2.25 million people in three days. Moreover, it is a festival that is not well known by foreign tourists. This number is the largest after the Hakata Dontaku Festival and Hamamatsu Festival:dolls:

It comes from a story set in the Milky Way in China. Therefore, it is originally the solar calendar in Japan, but it is celebrated with the lunar calendar.

Traditional Japanese decorations are gathered
The Sendai Tanabata Festival is the quietest of all major Japanese festivals. We enjoy watching the streets overflowing with huge decorations of Japanese Yuzen paper created by companies and shopping streets. The distance takes place on Atrium Street, which covers 1.3 km.

400 years of festivals for women and children
When did it start? This began 400 years before Sendai was built. This is a women’s festival that was started by the general Shogun Date Masamune (famous worldwide for being a model of Star Wars Darth Vader) to encourage women to participate in society. Gender initiatives have already been undertaken for 400 years:woman:

Japanese politeness is proven
Surprisingly, the decoration does not break slightly. No one will break it. If you can speak Japanese, please listen to the parents and children on the street. You will find that they are educating their children on the spot, “Do not touch decorations made by others”. In other words, it is an educational practice👨👨👧👦.
