sirius-blackly: myth aesthetics - tanabata This is the story of two lovers. Princess Orihime, the seamstress, wove beautiful clothes by the heavenly river, represented by the Milky Way. She fell in love with Hikoboshi, the cow herder who lived on the other side of the Milky Way. Orihime’s father forbade the lovers to be together, but said that the two star-crossed lovers could meet once a year–on Tanabata. On the first day they were to be reunited, they found the river (Milky Way) to be too difficult to cross. Orihime became so despondent that a flock of magpies came and made a bridge for her. It is said that if it rains on Tanabata, the magpies will not come, and the two lovers must wait another year to be reunited, so Japanese always wish for good weather on Tanabata.
