"One who chases after two hares won't catch even one."
-Ancient proverb
In China, the Hare in the Moon is depicted with a mortar and pestle in which he mixes the elixir of immortality. He is the messenger of a female moon deity and the guardian of all wild animals. The hare moves by moonlight between the human world and the realm of the Great Goddess.
