The textiles industry in Ichinomiya city is said to have prospered thanks to the grace of a textile god. Each year, the Textile Thanksgiving Ichinomiya Tanabata Star Festival is celebrated for four days, starting from the Thursday before the last Sunday of July. This timing aligns with the Altair constellation and the Chinese myth of Zhinü, both connected to textiles.

During the festival, visitors can enjoy various attractions, such as the Clothing Dedication Parade, where wool fabrics are offered to Hatori Jinja Shrine, an auxiliary shrine of Masumida Jinja Shrine.

This year the festival will take place from July 25, 2024 to July 28, 2024.

In July, schools in Japan and the Philippines showcase distinct cultural and educational activities reflective of their unique traditions and values. In Japan, schools typically gear up for the end of the academic year, marked by cultural festivals known as "bunkasai." These festivals feature student performances, exhibitions, and food stalls, celebrating Japanese arts and culture while fostering community spirit.

Conversely, Philippine schools in July emphasize Nutrition Month and Buwan ng Wika (National Language Month). Students engage in activities promoting healthy lifestyles through cooking demonstrations and seminars, alongside celebrations of Filipino language and heritage through poetry recitals and traditional performances.

Despite the geographical and cultural differences, both countries use July as a pivotal month for community engagement, cultural enrichment, and academic preparation, setting the stage for a vibrant and enriching educational experience.

Did you know that the language you speak can actually affect your personality? Studies show that the way we act, think, and see ourselves can change depending on the language we’re using (Gao, 2013). For example, when we speak a language that has formal rules, like Japanese, we might become more polite and reserved. But when we speak a language that encourages directness, like English, we might feel more confident and assertive (Gumperz, 1982).

Different languages also come with different cultural styles. Spanish speakers might use lots of gestures and emotional expressions, while German speakers might focus on being clear and structured (Wierzbicka, 1997). These language habits can change how we interact with people and even how we see ourselves (Baker, 2006). So next time you switch languages, notice how your personality might change. It’s a fun way to see how our words can shape who we are.
