The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (Japanese: 竹取物語; Taketori Monogatari) is a 10th century Japanese folktale, details the life of a mysterious girl called Kaguya-hime who was discovered, as a baby, inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant.
Thereafter, Taketori-no-Okina found that whenever he cut down a stalk of bamboo, inside he found a small nugget of gold. Soon he is rich, and Kaguya-hime grew from a small baby into a woman of usual size and extraordinary beauty.
Eventually, five princes come to Taketori-no-Okina's residence to ask for Kaguya-hime's hand in marriage. Though reluctant, she will agree to marry the prince who manages to bring her a specified item.
The first is told to bring her the stone begging bowl of the Buddha.
The second is told to retrieve a jeweled branch from the island of Hourai.
The third is told to seek the legendary robe of the fire-rat of China.
The fourth must retrieve a colored jewel from a dragon's neck.
The final prince is told to find the seashell treasure of the swallows.
