Rabbits are a particular symbol in Japan. There are two common stories. One is Inaba no Shirousagi; The White Rabbit of Inaba. In one part of the story, the rabbit challenges the sharks to see whose clan is larger; the rabbits or the sharks. The sharks line up over the ocean, and the rabbit counts them as he jumps along. It is actually just a trick to use the sharks as a bridge to cross the ocean to Inaba. Ever since, this has been a popular motif. The other common story is of the rabbit living on the moon. Like the European "man in the moon", in Eastern mythology there is a rabbit in the face of the moon. In Japan, this is a rabbit pounding mochi rice cakes. The word for "making mochi", mochizuki, sounds very similar to "moon mochi", mochitsuki.
