Orihime was the daughter of the 'Sky King' (天帝 'Tentei'). Each day she wove beautiful cloth beside the Ama-no-gawa (天の川), but her duties kept her from finding a partner.
Tentei thus arranged for her to meet with Hikoboshi, a cowherd who worked on the opposite riverbank.

The pair fell in love and married, but soon abandoned their duties: cloth went unmade and the untended cows caused havoc. In anger Tentei separated them and destroyed any means of crossing the Heavenly River. But his daughter's sadness forced a compromise...a bridge would appear once a year.
