Setsubun Festival at Manzoku Inari shrine & Hyottoko traditional dance in Gion, Kyoto

What is Setsubun? Setsubun means "division of the seasons" in Japanese. It is celebrated on February 3rd each year, marking the day before the beginning of spring according to the traditional Japanese lunar calendar called "Risshun". The most famous festival is the bean-throwing festival (Mamemaki). Japanese people throw roasted soybeans as they shout “Oni out! Good luck in!” (Oni was soto! Fuku was uchi! in Japanese). “Oni '' is a Japanese folklore creature similar to a demon, devil, or ogre, that is considered to bring bad luck or bad spirits. The Setsubun ceremony originates from the ritual of Tsuina, a practice of driving away evil spirits originating from Chinese customs. It was performed at the Japanese Imperial Court during the Heian period (794–1185) and spread to the general public during the Muromachi period (1336–1573). Many shrines and temples hold special Setsubun festivals with elaborate ceremonies, including bean-throwing rituals and traditional performances. Why do Japanese people throw soybeans? Soybeans are believed to possess a vital energy that can ward off evil spirits. Roasted soybeans are used during Setsubun. How many soybeans do people eat? The same number of beans as their own age. Moreover, Japanese people eat uncut sushi rolls called "eho-maki" in silence in the direction of good luck. Eho-maki rolls can be bought at supermarkets or made at home. -------------------------------------------------- Manzoku inari shrine This small shrine, located in Sakyo ward, Kyoto, was founded between 1592 and 1596 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of pre-modern Japan), who moved the deity from Fushimi Inari Shrine for this purpose. It was relocated to its current location in 1693. Each year, the shrine hosts a Setsubun festival that includes mamemaki (bean-scattering) and performances of the Hyottoko odori dance on the stage and throughout the precincts. The Hyottoko odori is a traditional Japanese dance from Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture, characterized by its comical masks.
