  • "An ancient Japanese fable with graphics that have a Matisse cutout quality and seem to be made of layers of rice and or tissue. A dissatisfied stonecutter asks the mountain spirit to change him into a prince which the mountain spirit does. When the former stonecutter wants more than princely powers, he is changed into the sun. And so on, until he comes full circle--almost. Developed with the book by Gerald McDermott, this film has an authentic koto music sound track."

Satisfied with his life until one day when a wealthy prince goes by, Tasaku implores the spirit of the mountain to change him into a prince. His wish is granted, but soon his greed and envy make him want to be firtst the sun, then a cloud and finally a mountain, every time imagining that he will be more powerful than before. As the mountain, he assumes that he is now the mightiest of all creations, only to find a stonecutter working away at his foot. The accompanying music is performed on a Japanese koto."
