Mamemaki

From Shizuko Mishima, About.com GuideJanuary 22, 2010

One day before risshun (the first day of spring) is called Setsubun which usually falls around February 3. On this day, mamemaki, bean throwing ceremonies, are held at shrines and temples around the country. Try to catch some of the good luck beans scattered.
