In Japan, children and adults write wishes on strips of colored paper known as tanzaku, and hang them on bamboo branches. Mirroring that tradition, visitors can write their own wishes and place them on the Tanabata bamboo in the museum lobby. |
| Visit our Yamato-kan exhibit, "Japan Through the Eyes of a Child." Purchase a passport ($1) and learn fun facts about Japan by yourself or with an instructor. |
