Moon Princess Kaguya - Bamboo & Heart Break - Japanese Mythology - Extra Mythology
Kaguya's tasks span all over Asia, and you can also see a huge variety of objects dedicated to Asian art, history, and culture over at the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures & Educational Center: https://www.texasasianculturesmuseum.... A lonely bamboo cutter and his wife had created a fine if humble life for themselves but had never had any children to care for in their old age. Luckily, this is mythology, so when out in the bamboo forest, the cutter found a tiny girl, only three inches tall! That would be unusual enough but... what if she was also from the moon?
