Origin: Japanese Traditional (Meiji era)
Key: C Major/Pentatonic
"Rabbit, rabbit, what are you looking at? Jumping, looking at the fifteen-night moon..."
This charming children's song from the Meiji era (1868-1912) depicts a rabbit jumping and looking at the full moon. In Japanese folklore, the pattern on the moon resembles a rabbit making mochi (rice cakes). The simple pentatonic melody is easy for children to learn.
