What are paper humans called?


In anime paper humans are shown frequently. When there is bad weather, people

is it called?

> **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"; bōzu is also
