The world is full of demons

I missed the timing when I wrote this article.
I am the administrator.
This time,demon"is.

There are plenty of anecdotes about this "demon."
Along with the kappa, it is one of the most popular monsters in Japan.
A little bit of detail before the main text.
■ Origin of the demon
Hidden (Onu)
It is said to come from Onnin (hermit).
Literally invisible disasters and illnesses
It seems to have been used as a general term for anything frightening.
■ Why horns, fangs and tiger pants?
The demons live in the direction of the demon gate, the direction of Ushitora,
He has the horns of a bull and the fangs of a tiger,
He has tiger print pants.
Oh... and lastly, the tingling in my head...
This is probably the influence of Saturday Night Fever (old version).
■ Oni's status and job
He is a prison guard and a subordinate of King Enma, who was introduced the other day.
They are scary creatures who will torment the dead for all eternity in hell.
A famous supporting character who is defeated by the hero.

==================
Now, among the many demon anecdotes,
This time the timing wasn't right
"Setsubun"
I will write about.
■ Origin and history
The story dates back to 1447 (although the history of the demon itself is even older...)
When the seasons change, evil spirits (colds, misfortune, etc.)
It seems that this project was started in order to pay for the debt that was coming.
■ Throwing beans
Roasted soybeans (orthodox)
Peas (with shell) (for families with children)
Denroku Beans (with masks) (unorthodox but delicious)
■ Why roasted soybeans are the orthodox
Soybeans have often been used in religious ceremonies.
・It is believed that the spirit of grain resides in it, and it is used in religious ceremonies.
・Hit it on the devil's eye (demonic eye = blister)
・Destroy the demons (demise = beans)
・There is also a legend that, following a revelation from Bishamonten, a demon that appeared on Mount Kurama was defeated by hitting its eyes with soybeans.
Furthermore, "fry" is connected to "shoot" and means to shoot at the evil eye and destroy the evil.
I never knew there was such a pun.
Why did you all choose beans? Do you feel refreshed at your age?
■Is it a hassle?
Well, it's a major event that has been going on for many years,
In this day and age, it's a hassle to even bother to clean up.
I think there are many people who don't "throw beans at home."
Ehomaki is easier and tastier! Something like that.
I think that's a wasteful legacy.
■Do you feel refreshed?
It is important to cherish these milestones, ward off evil spirits, and pray for health and happiness.
I don't think there's anything shameful about it.
Rather than bother with cleaning up,
The sense of clarity and security it brings is more important.
I think it's a big factor.
So it's better to do it alone...
In fact, you should do it when you're alone!
Only you can keep yourself motivated.
Especially since it's not like anyone is listening.
For example, people who don't get along with their boss
Making masks of annoying bosses
Just hit it with a showy attitude.
You might actually be able to clear up any bad feelings and get along well with your boss (laughs).
Face to face with clear opinions
You may be able to say it (just on the surface).
This Setsubun also has many other refreshing effects.
Why not take another look?
================================
And now I
I have a cold.
because,
This time, we didn't throw beans!
(Recommended)
I learned that on Setsubun, we need to throw beans.
This was a cicada that I experienced firsthand.
