When he opened the lid, the first box contained a crane feather; the second box pulled out a cloud of white smoke that turned itself into an old man; the third box holds a mirror for him to see himself. The feather from the first box then tied itself to his back, now turning Urashima into a crane, and the princess comes up with a turtle's disguise to see it.
The version with "Tamatebako" three-story (handmade gem) was also published in English by the Japanese foreign ministry in 1969.
