One of the three largest festivals in Tohoku, Japan, the Sendai Tanabata Festival is bringing a lot of stylish cats again. The day of Tanabata is to celebrate two lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars of Vega and Altair), whom got separated by the Milky Way, and were only allowed to meet once a year on the 7th of July. The festival is popular because of its gorgeous decorations, vibrant atmosphere, and is especially popular for couples to join for a day to confess your hidden love to your dearest.
