Can Princess Hana become the warrior she longs to be without abandoning her responsibilities-and can she change the kingdom without becoming reckless enough to destroy the people she hopes to protect? Princess Hana was born into a life of beauty, privilege, and tradition-but never freedom. Inside the walls of Himeji Castle, her future has already been chosen: obey the court, accept an arranged marriage, and become the princess everyone expects. But in secret, Hana trains with a sword, determined to prove that her destiny belongs to her. When her rebellion draws the attention of the powerful Lord Nobu, Hana is forced into a national tournament where losing means surrendering her sword-and the right to choose her own future. But the deeper she fights, the more she discovers that the tournament is only part of a far greater conspiracy. To win, Hana must do more than defeat the kingdom's greatest warriors. She must decide what freedom is truly worth-and whether changing her own fate is enough when an entire generation is waiting behind a closed gate.

Japan in the early 1500's isn't exactly what you'd call evolutionary. Girls and boys alike being tied down to old, social standards all the while the country still growing and developing. Princess Matsushima Shita was one of those little girls. I mean, she wasn't exactly little but she wasn't old either. Princess Shita was ... more of a rebel than most. Growing up in a royal household hadn't really helped either. Her parents were as strict as ever, but who wouldn't be when you had a whole country to take care of? Princess Shita has always longed to be just a normal teenage girl. She always wished to get away from the strict lifestyle and try living free for once, without the eye of the people watching her every move. Will Princess Shita's wish become a reality? Will she finally become the normal girl she wants to be? ______________________________________________________________________________ NOTE ; i do not own the names of any of these characters, and i am not an expert in japanese history so please do not bash me if i get something wrong.

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (竹取物語Taketori Monogatari) is a 10th-century Japanese monogatari (fictional prose narrative) containing Japanese folklore. It is considered the oldest extant Japanese prose narrative[1][2] although the oldest manuscript dates to 1592.[3] The tale is also known as The Tale of Princess Kaguya (かぐや姫の物語 Kaguya-hime no Monogatari), after its protagonist.[4] It primarily details the life of a mysterious girl called Kaguya, who was discovered as a baby inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant.
