七夕の短冊
Wishes on July 7, the Star Festival
ショッピングモールに行ったところ、七夕の竹が飾ってあり、願い事の書かれた短冊が竹に結ばれていた。以下はその一部。(私は「文学賞を受賞しますように」と書いた)
I went to a mall and saw Tanabata (Star Festival on July 7) bamboos. A lot of tanzaku (a strip of paper on which you write your wishes) were tied to the branches. Here are some. I myself wrote, "I hope I will win a literary award."
