The rainy season is here in Japan and it’s timely to make some Teru Teru Bozu, a cute traditional handmade doll that Japanese farmers hang outside their window. This little amulet is believed to have magical powers to bring good weather and stop/prevent rain. When hung upside down it can also act as a prayer for rain (which is much needed in Singapore right now due to the haze). Here’s a simple tutorial on how to make your own Teru Teru Bozu. This post is dedicated to friends and family in Singapore. Stay indoors and make a Teru Teru Bozu to hope for rain!
