Cover photo: Setsubun is the Seasonal Division. Though there are four seasonal divisions exist in Japan, the one dividing winter and spring is considered the most important. Many temples and shrines hold Setsubun rituals and events in the beginning of this month. Cold winter is going to pass soon and you will find it gets brighter and warmer little by little.
