I wish Setsubun sound health

In today's Japan, according to observations by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, "the day when the sun sutra reaches 315 degrees Celsius" is set as spring, and the day before that is Setsubun in February.

The spring of 2021 is February 3.
It is the first time on February 3 in 124 years since 1897 (Meji 30). And Setsubun, the day before the spring season, is February 2.

Since ancient times, there have been a variety of events in Japan to get rid of the evil at the turn of the season.

It can be seen from the Japanese era that Emperor Monmu (706) was held in the Imperial Palace to drive away demons, which were thought to be the cause of the plague, due to the spread of the plague throughout the country.
