What do the moon and rabbits have in common? Well, in far Eastern culture, the darker markings on the moon represent a rabbit holding a hammer or pestle. It has been a myth in China, Japan, and Korea for many years.
Can you see it? Not me. But I have seen a totally black bunny hanging out in the neighborhood! Here he is. Fortunately, he did not have a hammer.
Bunnies are cuddly
The large and the small
But I like chocolate ones the best of them all

Love that black rabbit Ginny
My kids had a rabbit once... we called it Barney cos it is brown in color...
Interesting!The bunny is so cute!
I can't see it even with it outlined. What are they smoking over there? Must be some potent stuff to turn a man in the moon into a bunny!
That bunny is definitely not of the wild variety, Ginny. Perhaps someone should try to find out who s/he belongs to before bad weather sets in. Call your local humane society for guidance on what to do. Poor bunny!! ~Andrea xoxo
Not sure I would notice the rabbits without the outlines there.
My daughter’s father (my ex-husband) is part Japanese and he taught me to see the rabbit in the moon. I grew up noticing a man in the moon.
I just love bunnies, so cute!
Oh my gosh - I have been telling my family for years that Snoopy is on the moon! Looks like it to me!
I had not heard about a rabbit on the moon. I'm not sure I could see it without the outlines.
our hood bunnises are brown and white and solid brown, no black ones. this is a cute and sweet black bunnie... nope, can't see the rabbits in the moon, but I do love that first bunny at the top of your post. i am a longtime fan of Bugs Bunnie
I can see it after you showed it but would never have otherwise.
I do like the chocolate ones best myself.
Interesting Asian history.

Oh Goodness.. I love your poem.
I had no idea about the moon and the bunny/rabbit. Interesting.
And your bunny visiting the neighborhood is so cute.
No I don’t see it, but then that's just how I am. I'll take a real life bunny instead.
That neighborhood one is VERY handsome!! Up here, there is supposedly a virus that is killing a lot of wild rabbits and domestic as well...I was wondering why I didn't see too many this year....:)jp
I never heard about the bunny phases. I like the bunny you saw!
Interesting and totally new to me. I'm with you that the chocolate bunnies are the best.
Yes, thanks to you I can see the bunny. I like it better than the man in the moon.
Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea! So glad your black bunny didn't have a hammer, lol!
