SETSUBUN

Hello!!
←My mother bought these food stuffs.
Left side is a Sushi rolls, right side is roasted beans.
Why? Because,today...3rd February is 節分 [Setsubun] day.
Setsybun day is a day before setting-in of spring on the calender.
On this day,we thtow (roasted) beans as saying 「鬼は外！！ [Oni Wa Soto]」(means:Evil spirits out!!) and 「福はうち！！ [Huku Wa Uchi]」(means:Good fortune in!!).
And then,we pick up and eat the same number of beans as our age. (Or number of as our age plus 1)
Some home do this custom,but now mainly helding in kindergarden,primary school...etc
As for me,just ate beans. haha. (I didn't care number...)

And,we eat Sushi rolls as look to lucky direction.
This year's lucky direction is south-southeast.
This custom hold in west part of Japan,mainly...

How about try these Japanese cutom??
