From Tuesday, July 1 to Monday, July 7, 2025, “Tanabata WEEK” was held at IRIS, organized by B.S.P. Suita.

A cumulative total of 23 international students and 21 local students participated.

During the event, a special edition of the English Café was held where participants wrote their wishes in English on tanzaku (wish strips), and there was also an origami activity to create traditional Tanabata decorations to hang on bamboo branches.

Participants enjoyed learning how to make the decorations together with B.S.P. members, while thinking about their wishes and decorating the bamboo.

This event provided a valuable opportunity for students to deepen their connections through the traditional Japanese celebration of Tanabata.
