[box]Nathan Ellis: This picture was taken last month on the night of Tanabata (July 7) at the Ohkawa river, where 50,000 inori-boshi or “prayer stars” were thrown into the river to celebrate the meeting of the two stars, Vega and Altair, deified in the form of Orihime and Hikoboshi. The two lovers are separated by the Milky Way, represented here by these inori-boshi, and are only able to meet once a year.[/box]
