This year’s Tanabata Festival is patterned after the biggest and most
famous Sendai Tanabata Festival in the Miyagi Prefecture of Japan,
inspired by the warrior Masamune Date. According to history, Masamune
Date(1567-1636) was one of the most strong daimyo, feudal lord, in
Tohoku region and the founder of the modern-day city of Sendai.
Also, it is said that he was a patron of culture and Christianity, and even
today he is one of the most be-loved samurai in Japan.

The Sendai Tanabata Festival attracts 2 million tourists a year during
the three-day festival in August. Visitors and communities come from
different parts of Japan to participate in various activities like parades,
lantern and streamer decorations.

The Philippines -Japan Friendship month in July and the Tanabata Festival
in August and September, will be supported by other organizations in
Baguio city : the Otageki Cosplay Association, the XD Gumi, the Gomen,
the Bag-iw Art Society, the UP Anime_HQ, the UP SVA, the Cordillera
Green Network , the NPO Salubong-Tokyo, R.K.Shimizu(Nagasaki)
Foundation and Globe Telecom.
            
This year’s theme was inspired by Masamune Date’s poem “Tanoshima
zumba, Kore Ikan!” which means, “Why not Kabuku and enjoy!” Kabuku
is a verb of “Kabuki” which means to act uniquely, magnificently and
extraordinarily.
