The day before the first day of spring, the festival was held with the intention of bringing good fortune by driving away bad luck, but in reality, the motive was very Hachimine-like: "I have come to collect a year's worth of luck in the form of a physical body.

Hachimine participates in a Setsubun meeting
What a surprise, Hachimine participates in the bean-throwing ceremony.
Wearing a green happi coat, he walked onto the stage at the center of the venue with the other participants. The way she walked onto the stage with her face tightened, she looked like a celebrity.
Bean-throwing begins. Fuku wa nai, Hachimine wa mae
When the time comes, the air changes completely.
Beans fly. People step forward.
Fortune is within! The precincts of the temple were a complete battlefield.
Hachimine also experienced the bean-catcher's side. He positioned himself as far in front of the stage as possible so that he could easily catch the beans, and frantically reached out his hand in time with the movement of the beans being thrown.
The beans that fly in are packaged in small bags. This is a form that takes into consideration hygiene and the ease of grabbing them when catching them.
One word of feedback.
I was able to catch more than I thought I could, and I was able to catch the beans that Emma Miyazawa threw. I may have already used up all my luck for the year."
Clutching a bag of beans, Hachimine stretched out his nose and said with satisfaction.
Mysterious critique of the sow's side of the story.
The special Tsuina-mamemaki ceremony begins, with sumo wrestlers and actors throwing beans.
A cheer goes up. A shutter clicks.
Hachimine's first words upon seeing this.
I knew you were used to spreading it around."
Once you have spilled the beans, you are a total critic.
The event ended with a spirited three-pronged clasp. Hachimine left the Shinshoji temple with a dignified look on his face, as if he had taken in a year's worth of good fortune.
Summary
The Setsubun Festival at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is an event without denial.
We don't even drive out the demons, we just invite in the good fortune.
When Hachimine is mixed in there, events are a bit off.
But the discrepancy strengthens the memory of the day.
The disaster is turning into a blessing.
The word was most fitting,
It is neither immovable nor a wrestler,Hachimine himself, who was at his best in general participation.It was.
