It was imported to Japan during the Heian period.</span></p> <p><span>The festival is based on the legend of the two lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi (Zhinü and Niulang in Chinese), symbolized respectively by the stars Vega and Altair. Throughout the year they are separated by the river of the Milky Way, but on one single night every year, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the traditional Japanese calendar, a bridge of birds appears between them, and they are allowed to be together.</span></p>http://tanabatabamboo.tumblr.com/post/7331931554http://tanabatabamboo.tumblr.com/post/7331931554Thu, 07 Jul 2011 00:53:00 -0400tanabata
