Deep in an ancient bamboo forest in Japan, a kind old man discovers a tiny glowing girl nestled inside a bamboo stalk. He and his wife name her Kaguya-hime - Princess of Radiant Light - and they raise her as their own beloved daughter.
As Kaguya-hime grows into a young woman of breathtaking beauty, five noble lords and even the Emperor himself seek her hand in marriage. Yet her heart belongs to neither earth nor man - for she is a princess of the moon, and the time has come to return home.
This bilingual English-Japanese picture book brings one of Japan's most beloved ancient folktales to life for readers ages 7-12. Perfect for children learning English or Japanese, and for families who want to explore Japanese culture together through storytelling.
