Wie jedes Jahr fand im Hakone-Schrein in Japan wieder das traditionelle Bohnenwerfen statt. Teilnehmer werfen Sojabohnen und bitten um Schutz. Vor allem zum Frühlingsbeginn soll das Ritual böse Geister vertreiben.

The bean scatterer is traditionally a male family member born on the zodiac sign of the new year (年男), or else the male family head🙄
For good luck family members eat 1 soybean for each year of their life, plus 1 extra for the new year.
And just like that the poor oni are defeated for another year👋

"Dark Side out! Light Side in!"
For some reason, the adults were throwing beans at each other instead of just eating them. The kids will show them how it is done right.

At a shrine in #Kyoto, apprentice female entertainers called "maiko" have thrown beans as part of an annual ceremony to pray for people's good health for the year.
#Setsubun is the last day of winter on the traditional Japanese calendar, and usually falls on February 3.
Kozakura’s Beans

Kozakura looked at the three girls and asked Kasumi, “Are these your friends: Saikawa-chan and Kana-chan?”
“We are accomplices,” Kasumi replied.
Kozakura considered reminding her adopted daughter not to blurt out the first phrase that came to her. She was better at speaking these days, but she got careless at home.
Kozakura smiled to herself and decided against it. It would be embarrassing for Kasumi to be scolded in front of her friends. Kozakura could only imagine how hard it had been for Kasumi to make friends at school. She wouldn’t make it harder.
Instead, she looked at the other two girls. They looked respectable, but there were school reports about all three of them.
“I hear the three of you like to cause a little mischief,” she said, her face dead serious.
The three of them shook their heads no, looking worried.
“It’s mainly Kasumi-chan’s fault,” Riko said, forgetting her promise to be a better friend to Kasumi.
Kana was about to speak, but Kozakura beat her to it. “That’s too bad because I had a mischievous game I wanted to play. I guess it will be just me and my daughter.”
“Sometimes a little,” Riko admitted. “But we don’t hurt anyone. Not even the bullies.” A statement with just a shred of deception.
“We like games,” Kana added, choosing not to correct Riko. The bullies deserved it. If you’re going to brag about how strong you are, you should be prepared to fight. That was the dragon’s creed.
“Today is #Setsubun,” Kozakura said. “Do you know what we do every year at this time?”
“Throw beans,” Kanna and Riko said while Kasumi pantomimed.
“Right. And in a few minutes, some oni are going to come through that door. I want you to help me throw beans at them.”
The girl’s eyes shone as they nodded yes and received handfuls of blessed beans.
“Here they come!” Kozakura said, glancing at her monitors. “Throw!” she yelled as the front door opened.
“Aww… Oww…. Why are you throwing beans at us?” Sorawo yelled, ducking. “We’re guests!”
Toriko was much more philosophical and ran forward to tickle Kozakura.
Needless to say, Kasumi happily joined in, while her friends looked on, amazed.
Da heute Setsubun ist, muss ich damit rechnen mit getrockneten Bohnen beworfen zu werden, wenn ich nach Hause komme. Immer auf die armen Teufel 😞
‘Kintoki Scattering Beans to Oni’ - Torii Kiyonaga, 1803. #JapaneseArt #ukiyoe #Setsubun

The beans are thought to symbolically purify the home by driving away the evil spirits that bring misfortune and bad health with them. Then, as part of bringing luck in, it is customary to eat roasted soybeans, one for each year of one's life (kazoedoshi), plus one more for bringing good luck for the year.
The main ritual associated with the observance of Setsubun is mamemaki (豆撒き, 'bean scattering'); this ritual sees roasted soybeans (known as fukumame (福豆, 'fortune beans')) either thrown out of the front door, or at a member of the family wearing an oni (demon or ogre) mask while shouting 'Devils out! Fortune in!' (鬼は外! 福は内!, Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!), before slamming the door.

Today, February third, is the final day of winter, 節分 [Setsubun]. It has long been believed that 鬼 [Oni] (Ogre)s would come on this night. So people scatter beans (mainly parched soybeans) and decorate the house entrance with a 柊鰯 [Hiiragi-iwashi] (made by a head of iwashi, or pilchard, on a branch of hiiragi) because it is believed that Oni dislikes them.

Hoy es el #節分 #Setsubun (lit. "división estacional"). En esta fecha, que marca la próxima entrada de la primavera (aunque aún falte más de un mes 😆), hay que exorcizar a los demonios 👹 en un ritual llamado #豆まき #mamemaki, en el que se les arrojan judías de soja, llamando a la vez a la buena suerte para tener un año propicio.
Es una celebración que se suele realizar en colegios y templos, y también en las casas, donde los padres se ponen una máscara de oni para que los niños le tiren judías.

Oh, wait, it's setsubun today... Luckily my daughter is old enough and has lost interest in throwing things at me while I hide behind a mask. My son hasn't mentioned anything about tonight. Is this over? (It was very fun when they were little but it has felt more and more like a chore in recent years)
Mardi 3 février 2026 : bon anniversaire, Rin Tōsaka (Fate/…) !
Et bonne fête de #Setsubun ! 👺 🫘
