Abstract
    This story is based on the Japanese folk tale, known as “Urashima Taro”. Urashima Taro is a name of the guy who is a fisherman, and he rescued a turtle from wild kids. That turtle takes Taro to the underwater palace in the ocean, which name is “Ryugujyo”. That turtle is a member of that underwater world. “Otohime” is a princess of the Ryugujyo palace, and takes care of Taro. He enjoyed staying there for a while, but he decided to come back home. Otohime gives the “Taùatebako” box as a gift and she said that do not open at any time. When he came back on land, he found that the long time has been past and he soesn't know anybody there. At last, he opened the “Tamatebako” box, and white smoke came out to make him very old. It was in return for the happy time with Otohime at Ryugujyo.
