My Japanese teacher at #YarravilleCC, Miyoko San, explained #Setsubun to us last night.
Setsubun falls on the day before Spring when evil spirits come out as the season changes.
People throw roasted soybeans at men in demon masks crying out:
外! 福は内! "Oni wa soto, Fuku wa uchi” (Out with demons! In with fortune).
What fun being a student for a change!
