Asian Festivals are an important part of many cultures in Asia. They are celebrated to commemorate special occasions, such as the New Year, harvest season, and religious holidays. The term 'TETS' is a four-letter acronym for the Japanese festival Tanabata, which is celebrated on July 7th each year. Tanabata is a celebration of the meeting of two stars, Orihime and Hikoboshi, who are separated by the Milky Way. People write their wishes on strips of paper and hang them on bamboo trees.
