Here I got some idea on Kaguya design inspiration.
We knew Kaguya was one of Japanese folklore, but in actual folklore, Kaguya doenst look like this.
or this
but more like this
Actually she doesn't have any real design to begin with.
Thats why I conclude that NV Kaguya got her design inspiration from below picture. I mean Kishi got his inspiration from below picture and he just added Rabbit ears-like horns and colored her hair white
Warning:Graphic spoiler
Above picture is Malay or Indonesion mythology ghost called as Pontianak(vampire/banshee in english)
The pontianak (Dutch-Indonesian spelling: boentianak, Jawi: ڤونتیاناک) is a vampiric ghost in Malay and Indonesian mythology. It is also known as a matianak or kuntilanak, sometimes shortened to kunti. The pontianak are said to be the spirits of women who died while pregnant. This is often confused with a related creature, the lang suir, which is the ghost of a woman who died while giving birth. The word pontianak is reportedly a corruption of the Malay perempuan mati beranak, or “woman who died in childbirth”.[1] Another theory is that the word is a combination of puan (woman) + mati (die) + anak (child). The term matianak means "death of a child". The city of Pontianak in Indonesia is named after this creature, which was claimed to have haunted the first sultan who once settled there.
