Hiyoribō

The Hiyoribō (日和坊) is a type of Yōkai depicted in the Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki by Toriyama Sekien.

It is said that this creature dwells in the Mountains of Changzhou in China and will never be seen during times of rainy weather. It is only when the weather is clear will you be able to see it.

The spirit is additionally said to be worshipped by women who make ‘teru-teru- hōshi’ out of paper.1
