| My Story: |
| Kaguya is supposedly the girl Kaguya-hime, a girl from a commonly known Japanese legend known as the Legend of the Bamboo Cutter. Again, it is not truly specified if Kaguya is actually Kaguya-hime, or merely believes herself to be. In the legend, five princes ask for Kaguya's hand in marriage. Not planning to marry any of them, Kaguya sends each of them on a quest to retrieve five treasures- the basin of Buddha,a silver and gold alzalea,the Chinese Fire mouse(or fire rat,as in InuYasha's robe),a colored dragon jewel,and the seashore treasure of the swallows. |

| All the princes fail their task, and thus fail to win Kaguya-hime's favor. In the movie, these treasures are the key to releasing Kaguya from her mirror. They also represent wood, earth, fire, metal and water. In the movie, Kaguya desires the Celestial robe to gain the power of a celestial being in order to return to the moon. In the actual legend, Kaguya-hime returns to the moon after a set amount of time, claiming her time on earth was merely punishment for an unknown crime. |
