I celebrated 節分 with my friend Fukue and her two kids. We all wore demon (鬼) masks and threw beans outside and inside the house. The beans were crunchy and delicious but we scattered most of them on the floor. As we were throwing them we had to say 鬼は外、福は内/家 (Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi) which means demons outside and happiness inside (the house).
We later ate sushi rolls for dinner. They were homemade and very delicious. We faced the lucky direction of this year which is North West and had to eat the whole roll without speaking. I guess it's considered lucky.
I really enjoyed spending time with Fukue and her kids and for allowing me to take part in 節分 with them this year.
