setsubun

Feb.3rd is 'Setsubun'
we see packs of  soy beans at the store.
we threw beans at home at that day, to let Damon's go out, and good luck come in home.

From the day ,spring starts. even that day is still cold.

It is said it is good to eat the number of the age of soybeans at that day.

There are another  new custom , to eat  norimakizushi  at the day.
 But it is quite commercialized custom. (store want to sell sushi.)
I don't do that.

Today is SETSUBUN.
I must throw bean tonight.

EHOMAKI is new custom , seven eleven start to advertise this custom to sell norimakizushi from around 2000.
It is the custom of small district around Osaka. So, I have not done it.

This is the story from wiki.
