Celebrated across Japan, Setsubun marks the beginning of spring with a ritual in which people throw beans at masked demons and chant, “Out with demons! In with luck!” This takes place every hour from 11:00 to 18:00, and on the first and last hour, a 4-eyed creature called hososhi appears to drive out demons.
