Abstract

The Tale of Princess Kaguya is centred on a princess of the Capital of the Moon who was sent on Earth by Deva as a form of punishment. The story is vividly set in landscape themed episodes embedded with early garden symbols and representations – which are deeply rooted and shared in East Asian culture (Japan/China).
