   'Teru teru bōzu' (てるてる坊主 'shine shine monk') are simple dolls hung outside windows as a prayer for dry weather or an end to rain.
   Originally used by farming communities, in the Edo period this tradition spread to towns and cities.

     🙏'MONKS THAT MAKE THE DAY SHINE'🌞

     'Tsuyu' (梅雨) is a verdant, muggy and unpredictable time of year. It doesn't rain every day, but the season always seems to drag on.

     When the rain simply gets too much, it's time to bring out the ghost-like 'Teru teru bōzu' (てるてる坊主).
