"Tsuki Hyakushi; Ginga no Tsuki" (One Hundred Aspects of the Moon; The Moon of the Milky Way) No.40. In Chinese and Japanese legend, Vega (the Weaver) and Altair (the Herds boy) are separated by the Milky Way. They can meet each other only once a year. In that night, the magpies extend their wings to form a bridge over the Milky Way so that the lovers can meet.
