今日は七夕。
函館市では江戸時代から
七夕に子どもたちが近所の家や商店などをまわって
ろうそくを集める「ろうそくもらい」という風習があり、
現在はお菓子をもらうことになっています。
街のあちこちで浴衣を着た子どもたちが
お菓子をくれる目印である笹を出している
お店やお家をまわっていて
まるでハロウィンみたいに、とってもにぎやか。
まだまだ地方には
僕が知らない風習がたくさんあるんだなぁ。
夕陽に輝く市電を狙っていたら、
その前を家路を急ぐ子どもたちが。
お菓子たくさんもらえたかな？

It is "Tanabata" today.
There has been a special event on Tanabata in Hakodate city since Edo period.
It is that children visits neighbors and local stores to collect candles, we call it "Rousoku Morai".
And now, children are given sweets insted candles.
Children dressed in Yukata were visiting stores and houses which display bamboo grass which is a sign of "we are preparing sweets for children" in town here and there.
It is very lively just like Halloween.
There are still many local customs which I don't know.
When I was aiming a trams under the sunset grow, children run through infront of the tram.
Did they get many sweets?
