Setsubun refers to the day just before the start of spring, termed risshun (立春）. Setsubun usually falls on the second or third day of February. On the evening of this day, Japanese conduct a brief rite called mame-maki ( literrally, bean-throwing ) to drive away evil spirits and disease. At Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines all over the country, there are celebrations for Setsubun. Priests and invited guests will throw roasted soy beans (some wrapped in gold or silver foil), small envelopes with money, sweets, candies and other prizes. Many people come, and the event turns wild, with everyone pushing and shoving to get the gifts tossed from above.
