Et y mol ogy

Indeed the Idols I have loved so long, have done my credit in this World much wrong; have drowned my Glory in a shallow Cup, and sold my Reputation for a Song.

About Teru Teru Bozu
Teru Teru Bozu is a traditional Japanese doll.
Children make it when they don’t want it to rain, such as before a sports day or a school trip.

Teru Teru Bozu is made from white paper or tissue.
Sometimes it doesn’t have a face, but some people draw a face after the next day if it is sunny.

People hang the doll outside and say,
"Please make the weather sunny tomorrow."
This custom has been passed down for many years in Japanese culture.
