Teru Teru Bōzu

A teru teru bōzu (literally "shine shine monk") is a small traditional handmade that originated from the Edo period in Japan, made from white paper or cloth, that Japanese farmers began hanging outside of their window by a string. This talisman is supposed to have magical powers to bring good weather and to stop or prevent a rainy day. Teru is a Japanese verb that describes sunshine, and a bōzu is a Buddhist monk, or in modern slang, "bald-headed". Children would make them the day before the good weather was desired and chant, "Fine-weather priest, please let the weather be good tomorrow." Hanging it upside-down acts as a prayer for rain. They are a very common superstition in Japan.
