Cloudless day baby ["Teru teru bozu"] 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 "bozu" is a Buddhist monk, or in modern slang "bald-headed"
Today, Japanese children make "teru teru bozu" and hang them from a window to wish for sunny weather, often before a school picnic day.
