hello /jp/

while doing research for continued writing of my Reisen fic, i found this cool article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit

i've got a lot of stuff to do this weekend, so i can't make any guarantees about a release date, but i will say that i smoothed out some parts of the first part that i posted before because i didn't like how it was written (since i had actually ad-libbed the entire thing directly into the text field)


anyway, i've got a place to be, enjoy the article.

I thought the moon rabbits thing was a creation of ZUN's alcoholic state

Mythological basis? In MY Touhou?

It's more likely than you think.

All races of youkai used by ZUN (well, most of them) are derived from Japanese and English lore.

It surprises me that anyone can hang around any of the non-porn anime sections of 4Chan for so long and not pick up on some things.

Moon bunnies are sorta of a loan-myth from the Chinese, or was it Japanese but Chinese loaned? Eh whatever, too lazy to validate. Troll me.
