Treasures of Princess Kaguya
The Treasures of Princess Kaguya (かぐや姫の宝, Kaguya-hime no Takara?) (the Feathered Robe of the Moon (月の羽衣, Tsuki no Hagoromo?) and the Potion of Immortality (不死の薬, Fushi no Kusuri?)) are the gifts that Princess Kaguya gave to the bamboo harvester when thanking him for raising her before she returned to the Moon. According to the story, the harvester burned them, but the truth is that they were kept locked within a barrier powered by the Moon. The keys to unlocking the barrier are the other five treasures that appear in the story: the Dragon Neck Orb (sought by the Jaryuu), the Stone Bowl of Buddha, Hourai Ball Branches, Cloth of the Firerat, and the Swallow's Cowrie Shell. The Raiment is said to be what the people of the Moon wear in order to return to it. The Potion, though its name says it gives immortality, actually just boosts the life energy of a being for a period of time.
