There is well-known story about Ori-hime and Hiko-boshi being able to
cross the Milky Way river and meet on the night of July 7. On this day,
people wish on stars in order to be able to write beautifully or make beautiful
kimonos. This story came originally from China. In Japan,
this day is said to have been when a beautiful young lady,
weaving in a small cabin near the river,prayed for the ability to weave better.
