Today is the Japanese star festival, tanabata.
The event, sadly, doesn't add a holiday to the calendar for July. Perhaps because for a star festival, it's subject to the clouds and rain of Japan's rainy season, which starts a couple of weeks earlier. maybe the event should be moved to January of February, when the air is more clear.
