The Tale of the Princess Kaguya: Difference between revisions

* [[Foreshadowing]]: The conflict between Kaguya's desire to be with nature or to live in the capital. This is established in a scene near the beginning of the film, where the children of the village calls her ''Little Bamboo'' and calls her to come. Her father calls her ''Princess'' and calls for her to come to him. She first walks towards the children — reflecting the [[Arcadia]] life that she lives for the first quarter of the film — but then walks towards her father — reflecting her life as royalty in the capital.

* [[Ghibli Hills]]: A common occurrence at the start of the film, present in almost all shots, depicted in a different, minimalist art style reflective of ancient Japanese paintings than [[Trope Namer]] Ghibli's usual lush green paintings.

* [[Happy Rain]]: In the scene where {{spoiler|Princess Kaguya and Sutemaru run away together}}, a brief shot is of them flying into the grey clouds and the rain, laughing.

* [[Kid Hero]]: The film starts out using the trope as Princess Kaguya and Sutemaru are growing up in their countryside village. As the film goes on, Princess Kaguya grows up and is no longer a kid, averting the trope's usage. Since Princess Kaguya's age is never stated, there is a chance she's still a kid at the end of the film, however her increased maturity compared to when she first arrived makes that unlikely.
