What happens when Japanese sunshine dolls are put upside down?

Hanging a sunny doll upside down becomes a rainy doll praying for rainy days.

Legend has it that upside-down dolls are different from upside-down dolls. If you want to pray for sunny weather, hang up the sunshine doll. Of course, if you want to pray for rain, you can hang the sunny doll upside down, so that the sunny doll becomes a "rainy doll".

Sunny dolls are also called sweeping mothers, sweeping women, cleaning mothers and sunny monks. Popular in rural areas of China and Japan, it is a puppet hanging on the eaves to pray for sunny days.
