Kaguya-hime (1961)

An elderly bamboo cutter discovers a tiny radiant girl inside a glowing stalk and raises her with his wife. The child grows with impossible speed into the beautiful Kaguya, attracting noble suitors whom she sends after treasures no ordinary person can obtain.

Even the emperor cannot persuade Kaguya to remain when messengers from the moon arrive to reclaim her. The family that loved her must face a farewell beyond human power, while Kaguya leaves behind the memory of a happiness she was never permitted to keep.
