Setsubun no Hi, Japanese tradition.
On the day of setsubun in Japan, the most common and visible custom is for people of all ages to throw beans (usually dried soybeans), while chanting oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi! (Basically, "Out with demons, in with good luck!") Traditional beliefs held that the throwing of the beans and chanting would drive away demons of misfortune and thus allow prosperity to enter one’s life and family. Tomo did a good job representing "Oni", the demons.
