Inaba no Shiro Usagi is a popular Japanese folktale about a white rabbit who tricks a group of sharks. The story begins with the rabbit wanting to cross the sea and devises a plan to outsmart the sharks by pretending to be a messenger from the gods. He convinces them to line up, claiming he will count them, and then jumps from one to another, ultimately escaping. The tale is often interpreted as a lesson in cleverness and resourcefulness. It highlights themes of wit over strength and the importance of using one's intelligence to overcome challenges. The story is part of Japan's rich tradition of folklore and mythology.
