* Setsubun is a Japanese holiday celebrated the day before spring starts, seen as a New Year's Eve-festival of sorts. One of the events that happens on Setsubun is throwing beans (mamemaki 豆撒き, literally "bean throwing" in Japanese) to ward away evil spirits from the previous year and to prevent disease-carrying villains for the upcoming one. The bean-throwing is usually done by the male lead of a Japanese household. One old practice was for neighbors to throw beans at other households/people wearing a mask, yelling to them, "Demons out! Luck in!" (鬼は外! 福は内!, Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" and slam the door. Further information can be found on Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setsubun]
