Isao Takahata directs and co-writes this Japanese anime from Studio
Ghibli. A bamboo cutter (voice of Takeo Chii) finds a miniature
girl (Aki Asakura) and takes her home to his wife (Nobuko Miyamoto)
so they can bring her up as their own daughter. The girl grows
unusually fast and, believing her to be a princess, the bamboo
cutter uses gold he discovers to treat her like royalty, relocating
his family from the mountains to a mansion in the capital city.
Before long, the girl, who has been named Princess Kaguya by a
royal priest, finds herself attracting the attention of a number of
suitors but she isn't interested and wishes she was back in the
mountains with her friend Sutemaru (Kengo Kora). Despite her
unhappiness, she doesn't want to return to the life she had before
she was taken in by the bamboo cutter. However, she comes to
realise she may not have a choice...
