"Setsubun"

Every 2nd February, the day before the beginning of spring.
The bean-scattering ceremony celebrating the coming of spring on this day. One of a familiy, most of the case the roll is imposed father, put the mask of Oni (a kind of monsters in Japanese ) and other member threw him beans crying "Oni wa soto!" for kicking bad luck out of the house and scatter beans in their house crying "Fuku wa uchi" for inviting good luck.
