Tanabata (Star Festival) is based on a chinese legend about two lovers, Kengyuu (the star Alter) and Orihime (the star Vega), who are separated by a great river, the Milky Way. Only once a year, on July seventh, are the two lovers able to meet. On this night Japanese people celebrate by writing wishes on small pieces of paper called tanzaku and hanging the wishes, along with origami ornaments, on branches of bamboo.
Uta wished for toys. Jiji wished that Uta would eat well and grow big.
