“Kaguya” is based on the Japanese most ancient folktale Taketori Monogatari (The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter).

~Long, long ago there lived an old man in a village.

One day he went to the bamboo forest, when he found one bamboo shining.

He cut it, to his surprise, found a girl-baby in it.

The old man named her “Kaguya Hime (Bamboo Princess)” ~

“Listen to me. To tell the truth, I was born to the moon. I must return to the moon on the night, when they will come to me.”

high quality and reasonably priced non-elitist theatrical
entertainment.
