Stagnation by reformation of Meiji restoration and a war had begun to decline by many circumstances in the long history, but merchant's local volunteer wishes economic rebound and achieves resurgence in 1927 (1927). After that when the city whole has changed into a burned field in the Second World War, I'll make 52 Star Festival ornaments in 1946 just after the end of the war (1946) and restart immediately. I keep putting citizen's wish and coloring a town, and it's developing before it's called one of a northeastern three big festival present.

The "streamer" by which a highlight is brilliant decoration by far the most

That it can also be said a pronoun of Sendai Star Festival ornament, "streamer". Because Orihime was an expert of weaving, it's modeled on the state from which yarn was hung, and I wish improvement of fancywork and weaving, and it's displayed. It's said that Sendai merchant contrived the style by which an ornamental scented ball sticks to a head.
Since putting it in the production, it's so eager that every store hangs several months. It's a custom to display 5 streamers by 1 set, and the production cost per 1 Star Festival ornament is said to be millions of yen from hundreds of thousands. The state there are no same designs as one, and by which luxurious decoration flutters in a wind is beauty of the highlights. The walk which is while passing through the intervals is the graceful atmosphere which can be called nothing.
