[ Story ]
The first film in fourteen years since My Neighbors the Yamadas from maestro Takahata Isao, who devised the story, wrote the script, and directed. Based on the ancient Japanese folk tale "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter", it explores its premise from a hitherto unaddressed angle by revealing the state of mind of its protagonist.
Born from a bamboo shoot, Princess Kaguya (voice: Asakura Aki) is lovingly raised by an old bamboo cutter (voice: Chii Takeo) and his wife (voice: Miyamoto Nobuko), and becomes a beautiful young woman. What leads her to turn away suitor after suitor and return to the moon? And what was her sin, and how was she punished?
