Language Insights

  • Setsubun marks the beginning of spring in the traditional Japanese calendar. People throw beans to drive away evil spirits (represented by demons) and welcome good fortune.
  • The shout 'Fuku wa uchi' means 'In with good fortune!' Usually, it is paired with 'Oni wa soto' ('Out with demons!'), but at some temples like Naritasan, the second part is omitted because their deity is so powerful that demons wouldn't even dare to approach.
  • The presence of Taiga drama actors and Sumo wrestlers at major temples for Setsubun is a long-standing Japanese tradition that attracts huge crowds every year.
