"February third is the "Bean-throwing Ceremony" (Setsubun no hi), when we throw dried beans to drive demons away and invite fortune to come in!"

2/3は鬼を外に、福を内に入れるために豆をまく「節分の日」です！

"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!".
