In Japan, February 3rd is Setsubun.
"Setsubun" means the day between two seasons.
According to the old lunar calendar of Japan, February 3rd is the day before the first day of spring.
In Japanese, the day is called “Setsubun” which translates as “bean scattering ceremony day”. Traditionally, this is also the day to eat “Eho-maki(Sushi)”.
Eho-maki (Sushi) are thick sushi rolls which is believed to bring good fortune if eaten while facing the year’s “Eho” (good luck direction).
Thanks to everyone' supports. I can celebrate Setsubun this year as well
Thank you very much!
I eat Eho-maki (Sushi) and I will create arts more and more!

こんにちは
日本では2月3日は節分でしたね
節分といえば豆まきと恵方巻きですね～
改めて調べてみると、恵方巻きは、節分にその年の「恵方」（吉方位）を向いて食べると縁起が良いとのこと。
ということで、今年も食べねばとスーパーに行くと既に売り切れ。。。
ないなら作っちゃえという事で、作っちゃいました笑

Thank you! Almost same as Roman culture is really interesting! Traditionally, the male head of the family throws. These days, all the family often throws together because the kids have a fun.

Thank you so much for this very interesting post, Ikemura! I like very much to learn more about the Japanese culture. I am now spending some time reading about the Setsubun and in particular about the "mamemaki" ritual: the male head of the family throws soya beans at the door to banish "demons" (Oni). This is almost exactly the same as the ancient Roman ritual called "Lemuria", where the "pater familias" (that is, the male family head) tosses black beans at midnight in the house to banish evil spirits (the so-called "Lemures"). Incredible!
