Dämonen hinaus! Glück hinein! Hieß es gestern in #Japan. Zum #Setsubun-Fest wurde das Ende des Winters gefeiert und für Glück gebetet. Dieses Jahr ging es dabei auch um die #Expo in #Osaka und Wünsche für die #Noto-Region.

Happy #Imbolc ( #Celtic #Pagan ), #Candlemas ( #catholic ), St. Brigids day( #Irish catholic), #Setsubun ( #japanese ). 4 holidays most Americans are oblivious to, and just know it as groundhog day. Days when the Ewes started to give milk, people would get their plows blessed and related to pagan rituals in both rome and Celtic regions. The points between the solstices similar Samhain (halloween), Beltain (may day) and Lammas,
In Catholic Europe its mostly catholic #pancake ( #crepes in france) day as it symbolizes the sun. In Mexican tradition its tamales.
Setsubun is a day where you throw beans either adzuki red beans or roasted soy beans depending the region at someone dressed as an oni (japanese ogre) as a way to send bad luck out of your house and eat unsliced sushi rolls for long life, along with other foods depending on the region.
So have some pancakes or crepes for breakfast, and tamales for lunch and some sushi for dinner, maybe the groundhog will bring you some magic beans to throw at the oni for luck.

Guten Morgen und allen viel Spass beim Bohnenwerfen (-> ) 🎌 👺 🍶

This ukiyo-e print titled ‘Inviting Fortune’ by Toyohara Chikanobu (1889) depicts the #Setsubun mamemaki (bean-throwing) ritual undertaken to banish misfortune and welcome good luck for the year ahead. I've written more here: open.substack.com/pub/curiouso... #JapaneseArt #JapaneseFolklore

A woman and child scatter beans near a paper screen while others outside bend to pick them up. Another shadow can be seen outside the screen.

🤖Today is Setsubun👹2025

"Setsubun" Day Celebrates the transition from winter to spring and is marked by rituals to drive away demons.

Typically, families gather and hold a bean-throwing ceremony, chanting 'Oni wa soto, Fuku wa uchi'.

This is believed to drive away bad luck and bring good fortune.

My kirobomini "KOJIRO" also mention Setsubun but HE wants me to help him, not for ME to help him when the demons attack us.

Today is Setsubun (節分), the day before spring in the old calendar in Japan. As always, we followed the tradition of eating Ehomaki sushi (handmade by a local restaurant/cafe). One eats the roll without talking, while facing the year’s lucky direction.
Upon pickup, the shop owner even threw in a free bowl of handmade kimchi. 👍

We had preordered two ehomaki rolls at the restaurant: bulgogi (left) and vegetable (right).The owner graciously threw in a free additional bowl of handmade kimchi ✨The lucky direction for 2025, which one should face while quietly eating the ehomaki, is west-south-west (written here in Japanese, “sei-nan-sei”).Screencap from the Instagram page of “cafe and dining jiyuu jizai”. We can see a photo of a cut Bulgogi Ehomaki roll, and a note saying that the owner started to work on making the pre-ordered rolls at 4AM this morning

Today, February 2, is Setsubun! Let's eat a long thick sushi roll called marukaburizushi/ehomaki without speaking while facing the lucky direction (eho in Japanese) and making a wish! This year's lucky direction is approximately west-southwest (kanoe in Japanese). #setsubun

A man holds a square wooden box filled with beans. He is taking a handful. Oni (demons) scramble around his feet.
