Description:
This is a charming scene of a boy and girl gazing out a window. Above their heads, are two hanging dolls which are called teru-teru bozu. Teru-teru bozu 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. The children are waiting for the rain to stop so they can go out to play.
