I just finished this Moon and Rabbit Aceo.
I have never had a rabbit, but I have read the book "Watership Down" by Richard Adams twice. The novel covers the adventures of a group of rabbits. It is very well written, and as I read, I forget that I am reading about rabbits.
I recently found out about a children's story called "The Velveteen Rabbit" By Margery Williams. One quote from this book:
Moon, blades of grass, Rabbit: Japanese watercolor and acrylic on rice paper
Support: gessoed watercolor paper (140lb)
In Japan, red is a lucky colour and the rabbit is a lucky animal. Americans see the Man in the Moon; The Japanese see a rabbit pounding mochi (rice cakes).Support: gessoed watercolor paper (140lb)

I recently found out about a children's story called "The Velveteen Rabbit" By Margery Williams. One quote from this book:
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." "Does it hurt?" asked the rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
