Setsubun 2012

February 3rd is the day of seasonal division called Setsubun in Japan.


On this day, people throw roasted soybeans out the door (or at a member of family wearing demon mask) and say "Demons out! Luck in!"


Afterwards they also eat the number of roasted soybeans, which corresponds to their age.





I ate 24 beans.

I hope good luck comes to me this year.
