Orihime and Hikoboshi

This is an old Japanese story. About Princess Orihime who loved an shepherd named Hikoboshi. Orihime's parents allowed her daughter to marry Hikoboshi. But, after they lived happily together, Orihime forgot her jobs and Hikoboshi forgot his job to herd the sheeps. The King was angry and separated them. They just can met each other once a year. And that day, celebrated as "Tanabata Day" by Japanese. When Tanabata, you can write your wishes and hang it on a bamboo. It's called "Star Festival". Orihime also called "Vega", and Hikoboshi called "Altair" in Western. I reeeealllly enjoyed the making of the sky! ^_^
