![Yotsuba&! Chapter 33: Yotsuba & Sunny Skies page 1 - Teru teru bōzu (Japanese: てるてる坊主; shiny-shiny Buddhist priest[1]) is a little traditional hand-made doll made of white paper or cloth that Japanese farmers began hanging outside of their window by a string. This amulet is supposed to have magical powers to bring good weather and to stop or prevent a rainy day. Teru is a Japanese verb which describes sunshine, and a bōzu is a Buddhist monk (compare the word bonze), or in modern slang, bald-headed. - WIKIPEDIA](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Q2_ID6hflJQ/SqJjCkjk1_I/AAAAAAAAA4o/RxnRbefFOWU/s1600-h/Yotsubato33_01.jpg)
![Yotsuba&! Chapter 33: Yotsuba & Sunny Skies page 2 - Teru teru bōzu became popular during the Edo period among urban dwellers[2], whose children would make them the day before the good weather was desired and chant Fine-weather priest, please let the weather be good tomorrow - WIKIPEDIA](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Q2_ID6hflJQ/SqJjCJ5u8qI/AAAAAAAAA4g/eHWz6jTNCOE/s1600-h/Yotsubato33_02.jpg)
That's just f#$*&d up! It's been raining a lot lately, which isn't unusual in this part of the world. But the weather's starting to mess with my mood.
