During Setsubun people throw beans, (mamemaki) to cleanse away all evil of the former year and to chase away disease causing spirits (Oni). Remember to shout "Demons out! Luck in! (Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!) At this event you will see the maiko and Geiko in gorgeous kimonos as they dance to beautiful poetry. This is a festival to welcome the coming of Spring. We hope you will help us as we help you, to have a wonderful new year of good luck and health
