Moon Rabbit

The Moon Rabbit is a mythological figure from various East Asian cultures, representing a rabbit that lives on the moon. According to legend, the rabbit is often depicted as pounding rice to make mooncakes or rice cake, symbolizing fertility and abundance. This story originated from ancient observations of a dark spot on the moon that resembles a rabbit's shape. While there’s no scientific evidence of a rabbit on the moon, the legend persists in folklore and art, serving as a poetic way to connect humans with lunar mysteries and cultural traditions.
