According to the old lunar calendar of Japan, Setsubun is the day which divides the two seasons: winter and spring. Roast beans are scattered inside and outside the house and while shouting, “Oni wa soto, Fuku wa uchi”, which means “Fortune (Fuku) in, Evil (Oni) out!!”

“Oni” would be performed by one of the house members, wearing a “Oni” mask
After scattering the beans, people eat as many roasted soy-beans as the year of their age. It is believed that people can drive out illness and evil spirits and welcome good luck by throwing and eating parched beans
