I think it's important to note that Kishi is seemingly basing Kaguya off the ancient Japanese fairy tale, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

The references to it are interesting. The moon for obvious reasons, the bamboo because the tree of life, the sadness/cruelty/homesickness because I think all things are helpful to understanding character, and the volcano because Team 7 and Obito is right now inside one and above a pool of lava. What do you guys think Kishi could be going with this?
