How should you spend Setsubun Day? [2022 edition] The recommended good luck actions are open to the public! – Sentence, Fifty-six Plot Stars Mochii | ananweb – Magazine House

Part 1: Let's sow beans for good luck!

Everyone has probably heard the saying, ``On Setsubun, it is good to scatter beans and eat as many as your age.'' However, you may not be able to expect good luck if you just scatter beans and eat them.

Also, many people will throw beans while shouting "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" These two seem to be one, but there is also a theory that they are actually completely different rituals.

When you say "Oni wa Soto", it is a ritual to get rid of evil spirits in the house. At that time, there may be an image of throwing beans at a person wearing a demon mask, but it is not such a heartwarming story. To get rid of demons.

However, these ceremonies are dangerous to perform at a person wearing a demon mask, so in modern times where demons are invisible, it would be appropriate to throw them in the direction of a wall. At this time, it is recommended to throw with a certain amount of force as long as it does not damage the household goods.

On the other hand, ``fuku wa uchi'' is literally the act of inviting the god of fortune into the house, and after the ``oni wa soto'' ritual has sufficiently driven out the demons, beans are scattered from the entrance to the room. Since these beans are “beans that bring good fortune,” it is said that if there is a family member whose fortune is declining, it is good to treat them gently.

After you've finished sowing beans, you should eat as many beans as your age.

Part 2: Let's eat Eho-maki that connects us!

Ehomaki is eaten on February 3rd. Such eho-maki is eaten in silence toward the eho, which is the lucky direction. By the way, the eho of 2022 is "north-northwest".

In recent years, various types of ehomaki have been sold, but the more expensive they are, the better. We recommend that you choose based on whether or not it is something you like rather than the price.

And it is said that it is good to bite into the ehomaki without cutting it. Because it leads to "not cutting ties".

Also, it would be a waste if the rim overflows from your mouth, so please choose a size that is easy to fit in your mouth.

Third, look for white, which is your lucky color!

If you are going to eat while facing north-northwest, it is ideal to wear colors that are most susceptible to the power of good luck in that direction.

In that case, a soft white that is easy on the eyes or a color like ivory would be good. It is a great value lucky color that is said to bring good luck at home and work.

Part 4, act quickly and reaffirm your resolutions for the year!

Setsubun is also the day before the beginning of spring, the day just before the start of a new spring. In the world of oriental fortune-telling, it is also the day when fortunes change so important that it can be considered another New Year's Eve.

So, if you haven't set your goals for 2022 yet, you should consider Setsubun as your last chance to set goals for this year.

Also, it is important to act briskly on such a milestone day. If you've spent the New Year's holidays in bed, prepare bean-throwing and ehomaki rolls quickly and try these good-luck actions to create a strong cyclone of good luck.

Let's add "Good Luck Food" to increase your luck!

Since it's the day before the first day of spring, the new spring is just around the corner. And if you want to have good luck, it is said that it is good to anticipate the season in terms of fashion and food.

For that reason, if you feel that the ehomaki alone is not enough for your dining table, it would be a good idea to incorporate spring vegetables into your menu. In particular, Udo and Fukinoto are often sold in supermarkets at this time of year, so please try them. If you can eat these delicious ingredients together with ehomaki and beans, your body and mind will be filled with the power of Setsubun, and you will be able to feel good luck.
