The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter
- Princess Kaguya -
There once was an old man who cut bamboo for a living.
One day, he found a baby girl inside a glowing
bamboo stalk and named her Princess Kaguya.
She quickly grew into a dazzlingly beautiful young woman.
Over time, Princess Kaguya began to cry
whenever she looked up at the moon.
One day, with tears in her eyes, she told the old man,
“I must return home on the next full moon.”
And so, when the next full moon arrived,
Princess Kaguya was enveloped in a beam of light
and taken back to the moon, draped in a sparkling,
translucent, beautiful robe that erased all
memories of her time on Earth…
Kaguyahime returns to the moon…
We have created a fountain pen based on the story of Princess Kaguya. The barrel represents the sparkling and transparent robe that the messenger from the moon put on the grieving Princess Kaguya✨.
The robe had powers to erase the memories of the Princess, who was sad from having to part with her kind grandparents. The barrel is a translucent apricot pink resin with twinkling gold glitter✨.
The nib is engraved with a bamboo that is emitting light, and the finial depicts the full moon that she returned to, expressed in raden. The memories of Princess Kaguya, from being found in a bamboo tree to returning to the moon, are all encapsulated in this pen.
