Japanese Halloween?

[RoninDave]

@nydaimyo kind of with the idea of spirits coming back which was the original idea of the Celts from which Halloween came from except with the Celts they also thought evil and/or mischievous spirits came into our world and needed to be scared off hence the origin of halloween masks.

Tanabata/QiXi is performed on August 8th this year due to the lunar Calendar...although I do agree that celebrating it on July 7th every year is much easier :P
