I am not familiar with either stories, but when I see a full moon I can see the face of a woman. It’s hard for me not to see it.

cute! I grew up in the US so I didn’t know about that but my parents and sisters grew up there, so that’s what I was taught.

Being brought up with science programs since I was young (starting with ‘Cosmos’ with Carl Sagan), it took a long time for me to see anything on the moon other than craters and lava fields (those big dark patches). I have to intentionally look for it to see it, since I prefer seeing the beautiful landscape without the filter of imagined faces (or rabbits for that matter, no matter how much I want some mochi).

It’s not even a human face, it’s a crescent with a nose like protrusion and some uneven spaces that look like a brow, eye sockets, and a mouth (it’s in profile after all). Basically, it’s the laziest imagined figure ever (sorry Man Inthemoon (had to give it a proper name…)), since humans are wired to see faces in everything.

That’s a really interesting link. I guess it’s a good thing you’re Google fu is weak or you wouldn’t have posted it.

There’s even a story in the lectures book for the first grade of elementary school in México, about the rabbit, or, at least it was when I was a kid.
