Today is 07-07-07. Which, depending on which calendar you use, means it’s time for the most numerically symmetrical Tanabata in 1000 years. Tanabata is a Japan festival/celebration of reunited lovers.
A quick look at what others are doing to mark the day. Tanabata herself is celebrating her 7th wedding anniversary, while innocentgirl seems happier to not have made the same decision. K&S is making special dishes (with photos of good and bad yomogi/mugwort). Abbey walks us through translations of more traditional Tanabata requests (’To have a stag beetle…’).
As for myself, Three Extremes is only 1/3rd Japanese but it’ll have to do.
