☆ “節分” Setsubun ☆

On February 3, an event called Setsubun is celebrated, which literally means “division of seasons” and marks the day before the first day of spring.
On this day, there is a custom called 豆まき Mamemaki where people throw and scatter roasted soybeans inside and outside their houses while chanting
鬼は外、福は内 “Oni wa soto, Fuku wa uchi”
Devils out! Good luck in!

It is believed that evil is warded of by throwing beans and that good fortune will then come to one’s home.
After throwing the beans, people usually eat the same number of beans which equals to their age. There is a belief that this will bring happiness throughout the year.

In Kansai area, some people eat a Makizushi called 恵方巻 “Ehomaki” Lucky Direction Roll while facing the year’s lucky compass direction which is determined by the zodiac symbol of that year.

Children will love this bean-throwing event! If you have a child and it’s your first time doing it, it will be one of the memorable moments of your children.
