Bean throwing ceremony

We celebrate Setsubun on 3rd February, the last day of winter,and the day before the spring season.   Bean throwing ceremonies are held at shrines and private houses to drive away evil and bring good fortune in.

Yesterday I visited a famous shrine in my residential area to attend the bean throwing ceremony.


Zeremonie des Bohnenwerfens

Am 3. Februar werden Bohnen als die Setsubun-Zeremonie an den Schreinen und Häusern geworfen,um Übel zu vertreiben.  Setsubun bedeutet Ende des Winters und Vorfrühlingsanfang.
