Oolong the rabbit was owned by photographer Hironori Akutagawa and became famous for the art of Hirinori or Head Performance - balancing objects on one's head.
Here is Oolong balancing a senbei or rice cracker on his head. He was also known for balancing other food like pancakes.
Why am I writing about rabbits? Because after much musing of my next novel chapter, I thought of a rabbit as its central theme...and I did some research and came across Oolong :)
