Setsubun, (Bean-Throwing Ceremony) is a famous ceremony in Japan.
Its name literally means "seasonal division". And we believed that the bad air is generated when seasons change. It
On February 3rd, To bring off the bad air, we throw roasted beans (豆まき：Mame-maki) and eat the numbers of the age for better health.
We usually call "福は内、鬼は外: Fuku-wa uchi, Oni-wa soto ” when throw the beans. It means, "Happiness inside, Evil outside"..
We may see the scene in the shrines or every home on February 3rd.
