>The Indigo Disk is clearly based on the Dragon Palace myth with Urashima Tarō (underwater place divided in 4 parts, a young turtle and an old turtle, Lacey's Japanese name is Taro etc)
>in the tale, Urashima Tarō spends what he believes to be only a few days at the Dragon Palace when it truth it has been several hundreds of years
>when he left the Palace, the princess gave him a mysterious box. He returns home but everything has changed a lot
>he found out that so much time has passed that everyone he knew and loved was dead, so he absentmindedly opened the box which contained "his old age", turning him into an old man
>the box, or tamatebako can be translated as "jewel box" or "treasure box" as "tama" can mean "jewel"
