Oh, that explains the suggestive futomaki-eating boom in fanarts industry. I've seen enough.

That oni at the very bottom is pretty hot. I've always liked that the female oni are extremely beautiful.

Murder, She wrote:

Setsubun is celebrated every year the day before spring.


Specifically, of the lunar calendar. It won't be spring just yet on the Gregorian calendar.

And about this Setsubun custom, Japanese only do it in shrines nowadays:

  • Yoshimi Onishi - Feb. 03, 2015 - 06:36PM JST

    When I was a child, which is about 50 years ago, my mother roasted beans and my brother & I used to throw the beans outside the front door area in the evening just when the sun was setting down. We stopped doing it around the time we started going to high school. Now I don't see anyone doing it around their house any more. You only see priests or some celebrities doing it at major shrines. And now they do it in broad daylight at that.


Unfortunately, it's no longer widely practiced tradition.
