During the festival, the streets are filling with paper or bamboo embellishments, with dances, music, and typical foods. Desires are being written on the Tanzaku--paper strips that are also known as 'wish strips'--which are then being burned along with bamboos, believing that the smoke is carrying the desires to the stars.
