The Manga Guide to the Universe

[Persia]

One of the oldest myths in Japanese folklore is the story of Kaguya-Hime (a.k.a., "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter"), a young girl found inside a glowing bamboo stalk by an elderly cutter, and raised as his own chlid.

Kaguya-Hime grew into a beautiful young woman and one day confessed to her adoptive father that she came from a city on the Moon, eventually returning there, pulled upward as if by an invisible force.
