Kikuko Shinjo, a Kinjuen Nursing Home resident, helps tie a wish to a bamboo branch during a nursing home visit with the Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni Cultural Adaptation Program at Iwakuni City, Japan, July 7, 2017. The nursing home invited tenants of MCAS Iwakuni to celebrate Tanabata, also known as the star festival. Participants in the event wrote their wish on a colorful piece of paper and tied it to a bamboo branch so the wind can carry it, let it manifest and take it to the stars.
