Setsubun falls on 3 February, the eve of the old lunar spring, and is the most domestic and least solemn thing in the calendar. Roasted soybeans are thrown out of the door and around the house with the shout oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi — demons out, fortune in — and each person then eats one bean for each year of their age plus one for the year to come. Someone wears the oni mask and gets pelted, and in practice this is the father, which small children find enormously satisfying. Large shrines and temples stage mass bean-throwing from a platform with sumo wrestlers, actors and baseball players hurling beans and small prizes into a crowd, which is broadcast. A more recent addition, spread commercially from Osaka by convenience stores in the 1990s, is ehōmaki: an uncut sushi roll eaten in silence facing the year's lucky compass direction. The bean-throwing itself derives from a court ritual for expelling pestilence and is documented from the eighth century.
