Setsubun
17 products
Setsubun (節分, "seasonal division") is a fun Japanese festival celebrated the day before the first day of spring (usually on or around February 3rd). Families celebrate by throwing roasted soybeans outside the door of their house to chase out the oni (naughty ogres or spirits) or, even more fun, throwing roasted soybeans at dad dressed up like an oni! In this rather unique custom, you eat Ehomaki (恵方巻) a thick, rolled sushi while facing the direction that is said to be lucky for the year.
