This is the first and the last collaborative work by director Isao Takahata and composer Joe Hisaishi. Presented on double vinyl, with laser etchings on Side D. 87th Academy Award-nominee for Best Animated Feature, 42nd Annie Awards nominee Best Animated Feature, 67th Cannes Film Festival Nominee Director's Fortnight.

Found inside a shining stalk of bamboo by an old bamboo cutter and his wife, a tiny girl grows rapidly into an exquisite young lady. The mysterious young princess enthralls all who encounter her — but ultimately, she must confront her fate, the punishment for her crime. Director Isao Takahata's final film was nominated for an Academy Award and hailed as a masterpiece by critics.
