(This work is based on a well-known Japanese nursery tale.
A young man had picked up a rice stem and tied a bee to it for fun.
Seeing him playing, a passing prince offered him three oranges in exchange for the novel toy.
After exchanging the oranges for a series of things,
the boy ends up the proud owner of a house and fields.
In this work we see the boy about to capture the bee that is the origin of his good fortune.)
