Mochitsuki

In China there is the believe that in the Moon there is a rabbit creating the immortality elixir. In Japan the believe is that the rabbit is kneading some mochi (sweet rice) with a mace. This kneading-hammering process of mochi is called in Japanese “mochitsuki” (餅つき). And I guess it is not a coincidence that the pronunciation is the same as the word “full Moon” in Japanese “mochizuki 望月”.

And this is how with a little bit of imagination you can imagine the shape of a rabbit doing “mochitsuki” in the Moon:
