Origin
In Tanabata legend, Orihime cries because she is separated from Hikoboshi. The Magpies felt pity for her, and then made a bridge with their wings so then she could cross the river to meet Hikoboshi. It is said that if it rains on Tanabata, the magpies cannot come and the two lovers must wait until another year to meet.
