Setsubun bean-throwing ceremony at Daichi-in Temple

This festival is held at Daichi-in Temple, famous for the bespectacled Kobo Daishi. People wear traditional, elegant jinbaori and uchikake coats, receive prayers, throw beans while chanting "Good fortune in, demons out," and receive "lucky masu" and "lucky beans." The lucky masu is a masu on which the head priest himself has written the characters for "happiness" and "longevity" with the hope that good fortune will increase.
