This time, I will introduce one of the Japanese events, Setsubun.

Setsubun? I don't know. What kind of event is that?
This is an event that takes place at the turn of the season on February 3. The main purpose is to get rid of evil.
Huh, but what do they do?
Every year, they do weird things.。
We throw beans around the house and eat as many beans as they age.

I said they'd do it to get rid of evil
So, someone wears a demon mask and plays the demon role.
And everyone throws beans at the demon.

It's a pitiful demon.
I don't want to do that role.

Yup. The beans are generally small soybeans, it is hard, so throw them gently.
And another one. Keep in mind that the shouting is also characteristic when they throw beans.
What do they shout when they throw?
The shout at that time is
"Oniwa-soto Hukuwa-uchi".
"Oniwa-soto Hukuwa-uchi".
This is Japanese, meaning evil is outward and happiness is inward.
I see. That shout had such a meaning.
I want to do it too!!

How nice! But when you're done, the whole room and garden are full of beans and you have to clean it...
Oh. But Japanese events are unique.
