Rabbit on the Moon (Japanese Version)

Every time there is a full moon everyone always look up in the sky and say "Wow! Look at the full moon". Some would ask can you see the Rabbit on the moon? And one time a Japanese Friend of mine she say, "Hey, you know the Rabbit is making rice cake on the moon" :-) Hmm.... Interesting, tell me about it from Her Japanese point of view. Oh ya the Full moon photo below was taken this year during the Moon eclipse at December 10, 2011 using my SLR Camera with a 400mm Telescopic lens zoom. Can you see a Rabbit?

Back to what my Japanese friend's version of the rabbit on the moon, She say just look at the moon and you can see a Rabbit pounding rice cake, it's a Japanese Folks Tale (not sure about story, Google it up :-p). After that she told me if she can go to the moon she want to find the rabbit (Just like she wanted to ride a Giant Turtle). Well if you observe the moon photo below, you can see a Rabbit pounding a rice cake.


For some people, this is how the Rabbit look like below during the full moon.

Anyone know the full story, Japanese version? Share with us at our Facebook page, Thank you :-)
