Yesterday, we have "Setsubun" literally means "division of seasons" and this day was the end of winter. On the evening of this day, people throw roasted soybeans inside and outside their houses with a cry of "Oniwa-soto, Fukuwa-uchi!" meaning "Devils out! Good luck in!". As the beans are thrown, it is believed good luck is invited in and bad luck is driven out.It is also customary to eat as many roasted beans as one's age. It is a kind of charm against ill luck.During Setsubun, children can throw roasted beans about the house to ward off evil spirits and other misfortune. In some families, an adult might put on a devil's mask and approach the children. The devil is pelted with beans until he leaves.However, I do not like setsubun,because it is verydifficult to clean our room after setsubun!Soybeans are very small,so we can not find out all soybeans!If we do not pick up all soybeans,maybe cockroach will come our room!
that is terrile!!!!!!see you nextblog...
