Setsubun (Bean-Throwing Festival or Bean-Throwing Ceremony) is the day before the beginning of Spring in Japan. Roasted soybeans are thrown either out the door or at a member of the family wearing an Oni (demon or ogre) mask, while the people say "Demons out! Luck in!" (Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!).
