Setsubun comes a day before the beginning of spring season. The event is accompanied by a ritual to cleanse away the evil and welcome the happiness. Throwing soybeans to oni or demon and say "Demons out, luck in". Well, all the kids were wearing oni mask and did that. Soybeans were supposed to be thrown to oni. As it was difficult buying roasted soybeans, Pinga got roasted peanuts instead.
