DESIGN #38: R

R is for rabbit. Rabbits are often used as a symbol of fertility or rebirth, and have long been associated with spring and Easter as the Easter Bunny.
The rabbit often appears in folklore as the trickster archetype, as he uses his cunning to outwit his enemies. In Japanese tradition, rabbits live on the moon where they make mochi, [...]
