Explanation of work
The rabbit has been connected with the moon in folklore since long ago, and depending on the region, in different ways. Because of this, I think the rabbit draws out impressions and ideas more than other animals. As I was carving this work, I looked up these folklores and tales, but this was also fun and interesting.
