Setsubun means the day before the start of a new season, and on the day of the Spring Setsubun, it is customary to throw beans to chase away demons while praying for good fortune and happiness to come.<br/> Our school practiced this bean throwing tradition as well, with everyone enthusiastically yelling  Demons out! to drive out misfortune and then  Luck in! to attract happiness. This was the first time that our students had seen this custom, and they really enjoyed it. <br/> After the bean throwing ceremony, everyone ate beans because they are said to protect against catching colds. They both smelled and tasted delicious! <br/> Even though tomorrow is officially the first day of spring, it is still cold outside. On top of this, the university application season is in full-swing, so everyone please take care of yourself so you don t get sick. <br/> We hope that everyone receives good luck in the coming season. <br/> <table style="width: 274px"> <tr> <td style="height: 15px"> </td> <td style="width: 158px; height: 15px"> </td> <td style="width: 55px; height: 15px"> <img alt="Initial K.Y" height="30" src="../img/ky.gif" width="50" /></td> </tr> </table> </p> </div> </td> <td width="20" rowspan="3" class="bgs"><img src="../../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="380" height="30"><p class="up">2010 /2 / No.1</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="380" height="410" valign="top"><div class="photo"><img src="../img/10-02/e1.jpg" alt="Photo" width="280" height="350"></div></td> </tr> </table> <table width="780" height="56" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#336600"> <!--DWLayoutTable--> <tr> <td width="760" height="14" valign="top" class="bgwhite"><img src="../../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="14"></td> <td width="20" class="bgs"><img src="../../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="20" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="white">Copyright (C) 2004 - <script type="text/javascript">myDate = new Date();myYear = myDate.getFullYear();document.write(myYear);</script> <a href="mailto:info@musashi-nihongo.jp"> Musashi-Urawa Japanese Language Institute</a> All Rights Reserved <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> <!-- var pg = "E-diary2000-10-2"; var a = "&&"; var pf = navigator.platform + a; var lng = navigator.language + a; var swh = screen.width + "x" + screen.height + a; var cd = screen.colorDepth + a; var pd = screen.pixelDepth + a; var rf = document.referrer; var now = new Date(); document.write("<img src='http://www.musashi-nihongo.jp/ds/dsw.cgi?xx=",now.getSeconds(),"&&p=g&&md=j&&"); document.write("pg="+pg+a+"pf="+pf+"lng="+lng+"swh="+swh+"cd="+cd+"pd="+pd+"rf="+rf); document.write("' alt='CGI' border=0>"); function IMG1_onclick() { } // --> </script> <noscript> <img src="http://www.musashi-nihongo.jp/ds/dsw.cgi?p=g&&cnt=no&&pg=E-diary2010-1-1" alt="CGI" border=0> </noscript></td> <td width="20" class="bgs"><img src="../../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="20" height="1"></td> </tr> </table> </center></td></body> </html>
