Lunar Veil
The Lunar Veil (月の羽衣, romanized: Tsuki no hagoromo) is a piece of Lunarian technology which allows the wearer to fly, even between the Earth and the Moon, but also causes them to lose their spirit - after using one Reisen mentions that she has few memories of her journey. Described as the most primitive and time-consuming way of travelling between the Earth and Moon, the veil is used mainly by moon rabbits. However, Kaguya Houraisan was intended to be returned to the capital via a lunar veil so that she would forget her attachments to Earth.
The veil resembles a piece of silvery cloth; it has zero mass, being spun from moonlight, and Eirin Yagokoro can easily recognise the wavelength of its shimmering light from a distance. Eirin mentions that the veil is frequently confused for the antimatter robes of a celestial maiden, but that they are completely unrelated.
Reisen used a lunar veil to travel to and from the Earth in the events of Touhou Bougetsushou. Reisen Udongein Inaba also used a veil to flee to Earth in the backstory - this veil was kept sealed at Eientei until Silent Sinner in Blue chapter 8, where Eirin secretly attached part of it to Remilia Scarlet's moon rocket to act as a beacon.
