Japanese princess/Kaguyahime

The bamboo princes/Kaguyahime
Once upon a time, older men found a beautiful baby girl from a shining bamboo. He took her to his home and raised her with loving care.
He called her "Kaguyahime," and she became famous as the most beautiful princess in the neighborhood.

Many influential men proposed marriage to her, but she refused every proposal. She came from the Moon, so she had to go back to the Moon.

One the beautiful night of the Moon,  messengers from the Moon took her back to the Moon.

I painted a scene in which Kaguyahime returned to the Moon with messengers.

Personal work. I expressed an old Japanese story, Kaguyahime, with color gradation and pastel color.
