Tsuki no Usagi (The Moon Rabbit), is a folk tale shared and celebrated during Tsukimi (The Autumn Moon Festival). The celebration is a wish for luck and prosperity in the days ahead. According to legend, the man in the moon came down to Earth disguised as a beggar. Touched by the rabbits selflessness and kindness, he brought the rabbit back to the moon with him. And to this day, if you look to the moon, youll see the rabbit pounding mochi. This Rabbit is in a shiny moon of stainless steel and hangs on an 18 stainless steel chain. Pendant is approximately 1″ diameter.
