## What is Kaguya?

Improve your Japanese reading skills with the legendary story of Kaguya-hime (The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter). This app offers a side-by-side bilingual reading experience in Japanese and English, designed to help you acquire vocabulary and understand grammar in context.

Discovered inside a glowing stalk of bamboo, Kaguya-hime grows into a beautiful woman courted by many suitors, but her true origins lie on the Moon. Perfect for intermediate learners (JLPT N4-N3), this app bridges the gap between textbooks and native literature.
