It's from an old myth, there's several different versions though. The manga/anime series "Ayashi no Ceres" was heavily based around them. Memory is fuzzy, but they usually went something like this:

Celestial maiden(s) flew down from Heaven to bathe in hot springs on Earth.

Mortal boy peeked at them bathing, stole their celesial robes (Hagoromo) while they were bathing.

Forced one of the maidens to marry him in exchange for returning the Hagoromo, which they needed to return to Heaven.

Tragedy ensues.
