Japanese sunshine dolls originated from China's "sweeping mother". The custom of "sweeping the floor" was introduced to Japan from China in peacetime, referring to a paper doll with a broom. It is said that hanging and sweeping mom can make the weather clear. However, because there are many practitioners or monks praying for rain in Japan, the sweeping mother has gradually evolved into a male role in Japan.

In addition, there is a saying in Japan that "the workshop owner does not go against the sky; It rains when it turns upside down on a sunny day. " In western Japan, there is also the custom of hanging black dolls to pray for rain.

In order to pray for sunny weather, Japan has the habit of hanging sunny dolls. Sunshine doll is called "Zhu Fang" in Japanese, and the word "Zhu Fang" means boy, so many people think that sunshine doll should be male.
