Bedsheet Ghost link


A small, ghost-like doll that is traditionally used by Japanese people to prevent rain. The name literally means "shiny shiny Buddhist monk" or alternatively "bright bright Buddhist monk" and it was originally designed to somewhat look like one - it very vaguely resembles a bald man. Children traditionally hung these in a window frame when they wanted the next day to have good weather.

* They unsurprisingly appear in ''Anime/WeatheringWithYou'', considering the movie is largely centered around heavy rain. There was one hanging from the window of Hina's dying mother's hospital room on the day she gained the powers of the sunshine maiden. When Hina attempts to make a career out of her power to clear the rain, Hodaka makes her an umbrella with dozens of teru teru bozu hanging from the edge as a prop and a giant teru teru bozu costume for her little brother Nagi to wear as a mascot. Whether it helps or not isn't clear, but it doesn't hurt.
