February 2nd is Setsubun Day ♡

February is just around the corner. February 2nd is well-known as 'Setsubun Day' ♡

'Setsubun' is a traditional Japanese event where people perform rituals to ward off evil spirits at the seasonal turning point of the beginning of spring. On Setsubun Day, it is customary to throw beans and eat Ehomaki. How do you celebrate in your home? ♩

There are surely skilled brides who make Ehomaki from scratch, which is essential on Setsubun Day! I admire families that cherish seasonal events ♡
