The Grateful Crane

Finished

つるのおんがえし

A poor woodcutter rescues a crane caught in a trap. Later, a mysterious woman appears at his door and asks to become his wife. She weaves beautiful cloth that sells for a high price, but she makes him promise never to watch her while she works.

Driven by curiosity, the woodcutter breaks his promise and peeks into the room. He discovers his wife is actually the crane he saved, weaving the cloth with her own feathers. Once her secret is revealed, she must leave him forever.
