== Legend ==
Legend said Ujihata was not allowed to marry her beloved Isawa Tanata, a weaving maiden taken from her family when Shinjo left for the Burning Sands. Tanata was so fine a weaver that the Fortunes beseeched Shiba to allow her to live forever and weave them clothing. When they died, the Fortunes took them into the heavens and placed them by the River of Stars. Tanata became the Weaver Star, and Ujihata the Cowherd Star. They could see at one another across the star-road, without dishonoring their families. Then, once each year, the two were allowed to be together, during the Festival of the River of Stars.
