In Japan, spring
is ushered in with the annual Setsubun, or Bean Throwing Festival.

Each year, on
February 3rd or 4th, people are selected by virtue of their birth
year according to the Chinese zodiac (this year is the
Year of the Pig, so people born in any Year of
the Pig may be chosen for the ceremony) to throw roasted
soybeans from the temple's stage to the
crowds; this drives away the evil spirit and brings the onlookers
good luck. At home, beans are thrown while shouting, "Oni wa soto!
Fuku wa uchi!" ("Demons out, good fortune in!") Then everyone picks
up the number of beans corresponding to his age and eats them for
good luck.
Quote: "A good fortune may forebode a bad luck, which may in turn disguise a good fortune."
