A timeless tale of kindness, wonder, and the mystery of time - now in English and Japanese.
Long ago, a young fisherman named Taro Urashima rescued a sea turtle from a group of children on the beach. In return, the grateful turtle carried him to Ryūgū-jō - the magnificent Dragon Palace beneath the sea - where the beautiful princess Otohime welcomed him with feasts, music, and the wonders of all four seasons.
But even in a place of such beauty, Taro's heart longed for home.
What awaited him when he returned? And what secret lay hidden inside the mysterious jeweled box - the Tamatebako?
