Meaning “Seven Evenings” is a Japanese star festival, derived from Obon traditions and the Chinese star festival, Qi Xi.
The festival is usually held on July 7, and celebrates the meeting of Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair). The Milky Way, a rivermade from stars that crosses the sky, separates these lovers. They are allowed to meet only once a year. This special day, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
