Today is Setsubun, originally celebrated as the beginning of spring. It's kind of like Groundhog Day, except that instead of a groundhog, there's a demon, often represented by the man of the house in a paper mask. And instead of seeing if he sees his shadow, you throw roasted soy beans at him and then eat your age in beans. Beans and snacks are tossed to crowds at temples. Also, you can face in the direction that is determined to be lucky for that year and eat a special long maki sushi roll. (7-Eleven had an arrow pointing the right direction next to the sushi rolls.) Or a roll cake. Or an ice cream roll. It's not exactly like Groundhog Day. But I'm sure both days scar for life a small percentage of children who participate too young and too closely.
I'm not sure whose video this is. I hope that person doesn't mind.
