Reminds me of Urashima Tarou, a fisherman who, after saving a turtle (who turns out to be a beautiful princess), lives in the “Dragon God Palace” (Dragon’s Triangle??) for 300 years. When he returns to the real world, he is given a box by the princess which he must never open. However, he chooses to open it, and it turns out it contained his old age, so he dies :/

To know the true story of the utsuro bune you only have to go to Google and type in “images of Venus on the shell” then type in “Pandora’s box” print both images lay them down side by side with pictures of the bune mystery solved.
