Tales From The Enchanted Forest
Fiction
From tiny bamboo babies to Moon People straight out of a science fiction novel, 10th century Japan was a rough time for our fictional bamboo cutter. His bamboo baby, Princess Kaguya has a hard time too, what with all the available suitors being jerks and her pen pal being the emperor, and don’t forget the casual extraterrestrial exile. Is it comforting knowing that simply living on earth is punishment for other beings?
Enjoy the tale of the Bamboo Cutter and his Daughter: Kaguya-hime.
