   The Bamboo Cutter is a Japanese #folktale about Princess Kaguya, a miniature girl found by an old bamboo cutter inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant. It was later discovered that she came to Earth from the Moon to escape a celestial war, and was later apparently returned to her extraterrestrial family on the moon in a round flying machine similar to a flying saucer. The tale was first recorded in 1592.

     @curiousordinary @folklore In the original Taketori Monogatari, it is written that Kaguyahime committed a sin on the moon world and was swept away to earth as punishment.
