Actual event information

Setsubun (節分) is a Japanese celebration held the day before the beginning of a new season of the year. The name literally means "separation of seasons", but in general the term refers to the Spring Setsubun, correctly called Risshun (立春), celebrated annually on February 3. In association with the Chinese New Year, Spring Setsubun can be considered as a type of New Years Eve, and it is also accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse all the evil of the previous year and drive away demons in the new year. This ritual is known as mamemaki, literally scattering beans.

Royal objects to celebrate Setsubun

The mamemaki is usually carried out by the toshiotoko of the house, for example, the man who was born in the year of the corresponding animal of the Chinese zodiac, or the head man of the house. A particular type of soybean called irimame is thrown at the door or a family member wearing an Oni (demon or ogre mask), while the throwers say "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" （鬼は外福は内）. The literal meaning of the words is "Away with demons (or evil spirits), may fortune come!" The seeds are symbolically thrown to purify the house by casting out evil spirits and keeping bad luck and ill health with them. Then, as part of bringing good luck, it is customary to eat soybeans, one for each year of life, and in some places, one for each year of life plus one for the coming year to bring good luck for that anus.

For its part, ehōmaki (恵方巻き) is a Japanese cuisine recipe consisting of a rice maki (roll) wrapped with a nori sheet. It is tradition to eat ehōmaki in one bite in Setsubun on February 3, in the direction of ehō (恵方) in order to be happy for the rest of the year. Ehō is the annual address of the eto (干支), which represents the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac.
