かぐやひめ

An old bamboo cutter discovers a tiny, glowing princess inside a bamboo stalk. He and his wife take her home and raise her as their own daughter, naming her Kaguya-hime. She grows into a beautiful young woman in a matter of months, attracting many suitors.

Five noblemen ask for her hand in marriage, but Kaguya-hime sets impossible tasks for each of them. When even the Emperor himself becomes enamored with her, she reveals her sorrowful secret: she is not of this world and must return to her people on the moon. The film follows her journey from a magical foundling to a reluctant celestial being.
