●Tanabata The Magpie and the Bridge of the Milky Way...In the Tanabata legend, on July 7th, Orihime and Hikoboshi cross the Milky Way to meet again once a year.
The magpie bridges the Milky Way between the two
・In China, it is written as "joyful magpie" and is loved as an auspicious bird that serves as a bridge of love between Orihime and Hikoboshi.
There are various theories about magpies' role as bridge builders.
On rainy days, the water level of the Milky Way would rise and they would be unable to cross, so a magpie would act as a bridge between them.
-Rain or shine, he crossed the Milky Way on the wings of a magpie.
