Nike Dunk Low Setsubun
If you are looking for a way to celebrate health, wealth, and good fortune in the new year, you might want to learn more about the Setsubun Festival. This is a Japanese tradition that takes place on February 3rd, the day before the start of spring according to the lunar calendar. It is a time to cleanse away the evil spirits and welcome positive energy into your life.
One of the most popular activities during the Setsubun Festival is to throw roasted soybeans around your house or at someone wearing a demon mask. This is called mamemaki, which means “bean scattering”. Soybeans are believed to have the power to ward off evil and bring luck. You can also eat the soybeans, one for each year of your age plus one more for the coming year.
Another way to enjoy the Setsubun Festival is to wear colorful clothes that represent the natural elements. For example, blue for water, green for wood, red for fire, yellow for earth, and white for metal. These colors are said to balance the energy in your body and harmonize with the environment.
