I finally watched the Ghibli film Pom Poko and loved it. It's all about tanuki, has a yokai parade, lots of references to Japanese folklore, and a nice message about looking after the environment.

The association of rabbits and hares with spring equinox and Easter is a simple one: they breed prolifically and are therefore a powerful symbol of fertility. The Earth's regenerative power is great; Her fecundity is giving. She is being reborn all around us.

Nursery rhyme scamps Jack & Jill may have origins in a Scandanavian myth of Hjuki & Bil. Kidnapped by Moon to be its children, they can still be seen there, carrying their bucket. As they climb the hill, moon waxes, as they fall down, it wanes...
