Korean folklore features tales of a jade rabbit, living on the moon, who mixes an elixir of immortality. In ancient Korea, night-sky observers noticed the form of a rabbit formed by the moon's landscape and shadows.

The jade rabbit is often depicted as a gentle and kind creature, dedicated to mixing the elixir of immortality for the benefit of humankind. In some stories, the rabbit is a companion of the moon goddess, who is responsible for the changing phases of the moon. In others, the rabbit is a powerful and magical being, with the ability to grant wishes and bring good luck.

More info: One well-known Korean folk tale recounts how a rabbit offered itself as food to a starving traveler. As a reward for this noble deed, the gods placed the rabbit on the moon, where it now resides. The rabbit was elevated to such a noble status that its image can be seen from the Earth to this very day.
