Princess Kaguya is a popular fairy tale figure in East Asian folklore, much like Cinderella to those who grew up in Western culture. It is unclear when the fairy tale first originated, but according to the British Library, at least some elements can be traced as far back as 7th century Japan.
According to the story, a tiny baby girl was once discovered by an old bamboo cutter in a bamboo forest, who raised her as his daughter. The young girl grew up to be a beautiful young woman, and the rumor of her incredible beauty attracted marriage proposals from wealthy men in Japan, including the Emperor. But Kayuga was often shy and melancholic, and always rejected their advances. She never left her house.
One day, Princess Kaguya revealed to her adopted father that she had came from the moon, and that she was constantly sad because that year, on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, she would finally have to return home.
She eventually did return to her lunar abode, where she truly belonged.
Kaguya has an equivalent in China, known as Chang’e, the moon goddess. China’s lunar exploration program named its own spacecraft after her. Both the Japanese and Chinese versions of Kaguya are associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when Kaguya returns to the moon. This year, the moon festival took place on Sept. 15.
