My Birthday Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm turning thirty five. A long time ago, February 4th was new year so 3rd was new year's eve. February 3rd which is my birthday is called "Setsu bun." We scatter beans to demon in the house to avoid bad luck and to invite good luck. Fathers usually wear demon masks and kids throw beans to them. Afterwards, we eat beans the number that one too many our age. It means that we can avoid diseases. Nowadays, not many Japanese scatter beans because afterwards,we have to clean them up. But for some people, one of the family events!
