Setsubun
Setsubun, literally ''season division,'' is the most important festival of spring in Japan. In traditional homes, the whole family will join together and chant, ''Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi.'' (''Out with the demons, in with good luck.''), then enthusiastically scatter soy beans about the house to bring good luck. detail>>
