Fuku wa uchi !!

Today is Setsubun which is a Japanese festival to celebrate the beginning of spring.
It involves throwing roasted daizu (soybeans) at unsuspecting evil spirits.
And calling good luck into the house by saying fuku wa uchi...

Such an elegant, well balanced image.

Sometimes I yell at evil spirits with an expression that sounds something like that, but my expression is ruder and doesn't mean good luck. ;)
