The Tale of The Princess Kaguya
Synopsis
The story
Okina is a bamboo cutter in ancient rural Japan. One day in the forest, he finds a tiny baby in the folds of a bamboo shoot. He brings the creature home to his wife Ounaa and they decide to keep her and raise her as a princess. She is clearly not of this world. Kaguya grows at an unnatural rate, soon maturing into an uncommonly beautiful young woman. Since Okina has now also found a cache of gold and treasure in the forest, every suitor wants Kaguya. But this is not a fairy tale of courtship and marriage.

What else is there to say? A masterpiece beyond all words.
@Juliko2516/20 helpful
The Tale of Princess Kaguya is a marvel which deconstructs what happiness means and the virtue of impermanence.
