The February event in Japan is Setsubun
Setsubun (節分) is the day before the beginning of spring in Japan. It's also called Bean-Throwing Festival, Bean-Throwing Ceremony. Roasted soybeans (called "fortune beans" (福豆 fuku mame)) are thrown either out the door or at a member of the family wearing an Oni (demon or ogre) mask, while the people say "Demons out! Luck in!" (鬼は外! 福は内! Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!) and slam the door.[4] This is still common practice in households but many people will attend a shrine or temple's spring festival where this is done.
