DSC03647SQRS'G.jpg bean-throwing ceremony, which has been regarded as one of the Shinto ritual rituals of the devastating disaster on the day of Setsubun on February 3.

At Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine (Tsukuda 1), the annual bean sowing was held from 15:00 after the festival of the festival.

When beans and sweets are sown from the stage, a large number of children gathered on the grounds reach out all at once.

Setsubun is originally the turn of the season, the day before spring, summer, fall, and winter. Ritsuharu was particularly valued as the beginning of the year, so Setsubun gradually began to refer to the spring Setsubun.

There is also the word "Rishun New Year", and in the Imperial Palace, there has been an event called "Tono" to purify the evils and evils of the old year in Setsubun.

In addition, there seems to be a theory that the beans used in bean-throwing ceremony are roasted beans, which leads to roasting, and by shooting "magic eyes", it leads to "mage".
