Last year's Sendai Tanabata Festival was held to pray for the recovery of Sendai, Miyagi, and the whole Tohoku region. Many people sent in their wishes. A year later, the affected areas are still facing many problems, but are moving forwards, one step at a time.
This year we have chosen the theme of "Wishes, Hopes, Thanks" to express our thanks to all those around the world who gave us their generous support, our hopes for recovery and restoration, and our wish for easy smiles to return to people's faces. Please send your wishes to the "Sendai Tanabata Festival Tanzaku Votive Notes."
