Princess Kaguya (Japanese: かぐや姫, Hepburn: Kaguya Hime)[a] is a 1935 Japanese musical drama film directed by Yoshitsugu Tanaka,[4] with cinematography and special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya.[5] Produced by J.O. Studios[6] (later Toho), it is based on the 10th century Japanese literary tale The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.[7] In the film, Princess Kaguya was raised by a couple who spread rumors that she had ascended a mountain in order to deceive suitors and ran away with her son and the princess.[7] The film was considered lost until the British Film Institute found a 35mm cut in May 2015.[b]
