Once upon a time, a long, long time ago and far, far away, in Japan it was early spring on the coast of Suruga. A rose-tinged cloud from heaven had fallen softly on the branches of a cherry tree. Save for the lap of the sea, there was silence on that remote shore.
A far-off sound became audible: it might be the song of falling waters, it might be the voice of the awakening wind, it might be the melody of the clouds. Slowly, imperceptibly, the music came nearer.

Above the lofty heights of Mount Fujiyama a snow-white cloud floated earthwards. Nearer and nearer came the music. A low clear voice could be heard chanting a lay that breathed of the peace and tranquillity of the moonlight. The fleecy cloud was borne towards the shore. For one moment it seemed to rest upon the sand, and then it melted away.

By the sea stood a glistening maiden. In her hand she carried a heart-shaped instrument, and, as her fingers touched the strings, she sang a heavenly song. She wore a robe of feathers, white and spotless as the breast of the wild swan. Birds flocked around her; they perched on her shoulder, and rubbed their soft heads against her cheek. She stroked them gently and they flew away full of joy. The maiden hung her robe of feathers on a pine branch, and went to bathe in the sea.

So why had the beautiful maiden come to earth? What was her purpose? Was she brining a message or was she here to just watch and listen?  Well to find out why she had fallen to earth, you’ll have to download this story and find out for yourself!
