Breezy Bou

風鈴坊

#139

A carefree little teru teru bōzu who would rather catch a breeze than chase away the rain. Breezy Bou spends summer gently swinging beneath a fūrin, enjoying every cool little gust. 🌬️🎐

📖 Profile

Japanese Name
風鈴坊 (Fūrin-bō)

Inspired By
Inspired by two nostalgic symbols of Japanese weather: teru teru bōzu (てるてる坊主) and fūrin (風鈴).

Teru teru bōzu are traditionally hung in hopes of bringing sunny weather.

But Breezy Bou isn't too worried about tomorrow's forecast.

Give him a gentle summer breeze and somewhere to swing, and he's perfectly happy.

Carefree, gentle, and completely content going wherever the wind takes him.

Breezy Bou doesn't rush.

A tiny breeze?

Lovely.

Even better.

And whenever the fūrin above him starts ringing, Breezy Bou knows summer is doing exactly what summer should.
