🌕HOW A RABBIT CAME TO BE ON THE MOON🖌️
The Heian period "Konjaku Monogatarishū" includes an ancient Buddhist tale, explaining how Taishakuten (帝釈天 'Commander of the 4 Heavenly Kings', often shown as the 'Old Man of the Moon') came to draw the image of a rabbit on the moon.

Nao-san was quite skeptical when I mentioned the "Man in the Moon", so here's a rough idea of what he looks like... ...I'm not sure it's strengthened my case🤔
From far away it looks a lot more like a face, honestly!😅

Because 'Moon Viewing' (月見) is celebrated at this time of year, images of rabbits pop up everywhere.
The idea of a Moon Rabbit was imported from China. A story in the 'Songs of Chu' (楚辞) first mentions a toad and rabbit on the moon pounding herbs for the immortals.

🎑THE MOON RABBIT🐇
In many Western countries people see a "Man in the Moon" (often considered "god of drunks"), but in Japan folk see the image of a rabbit pounding rice cakes in a mortar.
China's rabbit is crushing laurel leaves to create an immortality potion.#Japan #rabbit #folklore #moon #maninthemoon #moonrabbit #兎 #月見
