Today I learned Lunar Capital existed in traditional Japanese fairy tales before touhou... I always knew the whole Kaguya thing and story of Imperishable Night is based on "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter", but I always assumed Lunar Capital is something that ZUN added for fun himself, because to me it feels a bit off. Interesting, I better read some more about it :kaguyawhat:
@NaiJi think i remember something like this in chines lor. There was something about toad on the moon who make immortality potion
