Kaguya - the daughter of the moon - is the oldest fairy tale in Japan, written down around 900. Princess Kaguya is raised as a tiny foundling by a bamboo collector and grows up with him into a radiant beauty. Five noble suitors compete for her, but all fail because of the superhuman task Kaguya sets for each of them. Even the emperor cannot win her over. In the end, Kaguya returns as a supernatural being to the palace of the moon, her home from which she came to earth.

Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese painter and one of the most important representatives of the ukiyo-e genre ("pictures of the flowing world", they depicted the world in its transient beauty with scenes ranging from courtesans to actor portraits). His most famous works are the woodblock prints of the series "36 Views of Mount Fuji". "The Great Wave off Kanagawa", a picture from this cycle, is probably the most famous Japanese artwork in the world.
