Kaguya-hime

Synopsis

That day, as usual, the bamboo cutter went to the mountains to gather bamboo. It was supposed to be just another day of bamboo cutting, but something was amiss. The forest was strangely bright. "What is this...?" Inside a bamboo stalk whose base was glowing, there was a cute baby. The old man picked up the baby and headed home. But the strange events didn't end there. Every time he went to cut bamboo, gold would come out of the bamboo he had cut. In the old man's mansion, now quite wealthy, Kaguya was dressed in beautiful kimonos and came to be known as "Princess Kaguya of the Bamboo Cutter's Palace." Her beauty was beyond description, and as word of her spread, so many men came vying to marry her when she came of age.

Then one day, the old man witnessed a strange sight. On a full moon night, Princess Kaguya stood on the veranda of the mansion, completely naked.
