Kaguya Hime (Princess Kaguya)

Unce upon a time, there was an old bamboocrafter. One day he found a glimmering bamboo in a mountain. When he cut the bamboo, a small girl baby came out. He brought the baby, named Kaguya and brought up with his wife.

Kaguya grew at a surprising speed, and became a beautiful girl of 4 feet tall in several months. Her beauty attracted many noble princes. Five princes proposed marriage to her. But she requested each of the candidate to bring an legendary treasure, such as an orb of dragon, skin of fire-mouse, etc., in return for marriage with her. One lost his life in his quest. One faked the treasure, but was exposed soon. Others simply failed. So no one could marry with her.
After that, the emperor proposed marriege. But she rejected, to.

Several years past. The bamboosmith noticed that Kaguya seemed melancholy when she saw the moon. He asked about it to her. At first she rejected to answer, but at last told him, "I'm a child of the lunar, and they will came here to bring me back to the moon soon on the next full moon night." He was surprised, and decided to keep her from the lunar. The emperor send an army to guard her house.
On the full moon night, a carriage descended from the moon to her house. The army tryied to shoot it down but in vein. The soldiers were incapaciated by strange forces. The lunar came to Kaguya, and told to ride the carriage to go back to the moon. Then she cried, saying thanks and good-bye to the bamboocrafter and his wife, then returned to the moon.
