Memory Hook
Imagine a rabbit with wings — 'wa' sounds like 'wings'! Rabbits are counted with 『羽』 (wa, 'counter for rabbits'), as if they could fly.
Cultural Note
In Japanese, rabbits are counted with 『羽』 (wa), which literally means 'feather' or 'wing', possibly due to historical associations or their fluffy tails resembling feathers. This is a unique counter not used for other animals.
