In Japan there are no customs as Chinese ... This "Tanabata" is the day that unmarried women can confess love as a modern Chinese version "Valentine's Day". From the Confucian tradition, girls are separated from boys from a young age and I think that this custom of Tanabata is very recent, as it is China that was decided by their parents regardless of their intention.
In most part of China, this is an important festival for young girls,and sometimes called the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Tanabata is only celebrated in Japan on the calendar, but in China, Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea etc. It is celebrated on the seventh day of the lunar calendar. This year (2017) August 28 will be the July seventh day of the lunar calendar. Tanabata where Japan also celebrated lunar calendar in the past, we celebrated in the solar calendar in modern Japan.
It seems that this story was thought because it seems that "Ori hime Hoshi = Vega of Lyra" and "Hiko Hoshi = Altair of Aquilae" as if they are the closest in one year.
