Every day, the old Bamboo Cutter goes to work and every evening he goes home to his wife. But when he finds a glowing baby girl inside a bamboo stalk, his life is changed forever. As the child quickly grows into a woman, stories of her beauty enchant the people of Japan – including the Emperor. But Princess Moonlight’s future has already been decided, and nothing on Earth can change it.
