People in the past believed that ``evil spirits come in when the seasons change,'' and they held various events to exorcise evil spirits.
Bean-throwing is one such tradition, and in some regions, the custom of eating ehomaki and sardines to pray for good health throughout the year still exists. It is said that on Setsubun day, if you face the ``Eho'' direction, which is said to be a good direction for the year, and silently eat Ehomaki with your wish in mind, your wish will come true!
