pareidolia?

"In Japanese folk tradition, rabbits living on the Moon produce mochi in the traditional method with (rabbit-sized) mallets and mortars, although the method they use to export it to Earth remains a mystery. (This legend is based on the traditional pareidolia that identifies the markings of the moon as a rabbit pounding mochi.)"

no, it's none of these things. rather, Pareidolia (from Greek para- amiss, faulty, wrong + eidolon, diminutive of eidos appearance, form) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (usually an image) being mistakenly perceived as recognizable.

huh.
