Teru teru bōzu てるてる坊主 (shiny-shiny Buddhist priest) is a little traditional hand-made doll made of white paper or cloth that Japanese farmers began hanging outside of their window by a string. This amulet is supposed to have magical powers to 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.

Torii, the sacred gates.
Torii (鳥居) are traditional Japanese gates often found at the entrances of Shinto and Buddhist temples in Japan. A Torii is a border separating the physical world from the spiritual world. If you cross that border through this gate, you must cross it again on your way back.

A miko (巫女) is a Shinto term of Japan, indicating a shrine (jinja) maiden or a supplementary priestess who was once likely seen as a shaman but in modern Japanese culture is understood to be an institutionalized role in daily shrine life, trained to perform tasks, ranging from sacred cleansing to performing the Kagura, a sacred dance.

Okay, let see some girls... high school girls. 🙂

This 4 girls are from band named SCANDAL. It is an all-female pop/rock band from Osaka, Japan. SCANDAL was formed in 2006 by four high school girls: HARUNA (vocals/guitar), MAMI (guitar/vocals), TOMOMI (bass/vocals), and RINA (drums/vocals).
