"Kaguyahime" or "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter", the oldest Japanese surviving piece of literature, has long been an inspiration to many artists in various fields. Having studied many of the works, Jo Kanamori choreographs the story set to the music of Claude Debussy. In Act 1, found and raised by kind Okina, Kaguyahime grows up to be a happy and lively girl, and falls in love for the first time with Douji. However, she is separated from Douji and taken to the Court. In Act 2, surrounded by The Mikado, his lawful wife Kagehime and courtiers, Kaguyahime finds herself very lonely. A developing tension between Kaguyahime and the courtiers will be portrayed by a powerful corps de ballet.
