Translation of "Tanabata" in Japanese

We celebrate Tanabata in July.

七夕は七月に祝う。

- We celebrate Tanabata in July.
- We celebrate the Star Festival in July.

七夕は七月に祝う。

Tanabata comes up in manga a lot so I also know it fairly well.

七夕は漫画によく出てくるので、私もそこそこ知っています。

The Tanabata Festival is often called the Star Festival. July 7th, the day of the festival, is said to be the only time when a pair of lovers, stars separated by the Milky Way, can see each other.

七夕祭りは、星祭とも呼ばれ、天の川に隔てられた恋人同士である星が、年に1回会えるとされる7月7日に行われます。

When I was in my first years of grade school, my father taught me a haiku and I longed to be a poet. On my Tanabata wish, I also wrote "Please make me a poet". Thirty years have passed and my wish has been granted. I am without doubt an invalid.

小学校低学年の頃、僕は父に俳句を教えられ、俳人に憧れた。七夕の願い事も「はい人になれますように」と書いた。あれから３０年、願いはかなった。今や僕は紛れもない廃人だ。
