The baby in the bamboo reminds the Japanese of the oldest book, Taketori Monogatari (The Tale of the Bamboo-Cutter).
The heroine of this story, a princess, is exiled from the moon to the earth.
Because there is a theory that the princess came to the earth to atone for her sins.
Finally, the princess is sent back to the moon by a messenger from the moon.

This situation of an organism in a perfect world is similar to the Japanese tea house.
The flower vase in the tea room is made of bamboo, and the flowers are the only organism in the tea room.

The princess is like an imperfect life form from outer space.
