  2. *What is Setsu-Bun?* • It is on February 3rd or 4th • ‘Setsu-Bun’ means to separate seasons • In between two seasons, Japanese people believed ‘A Devil(Oni)’ appeared • To exorcise devils, they threw beans at them • Instead, they called in ‘Good Fortune(Fuku)’

  3. *Events* • Nowadays, we throw beans yelling ‘鬼は外、福は内’ • It means ‘Devils go outside, Good fortunes come in’ • Usually, the father of the family puts on a mask of the devil and pretend to be one • The children in the family throw beans at their father as hard as they can!

  4. *Food 1* • The beans we throw is called ‘Mame’（豆）in Japanese • It is roasted soybeans (Daizu) • After throwing them at the devil, we eat the beans left (We don’t eat the ones on the floor!)

  5. *Food 2* • On the Setsu-bun day, we also eat sushi called ‘Eho-maki’（恵方巻き） • We eat a whole roll facing a decided direction • While eating, we are not allowed to speak (Because if we speak, we believe that the good will go away)
