πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ Did You Know?

Oni (ι¬Ό) are legendary creatures in Japanese folklore, often depicted with colorful skin, horns, and giant clubs called kanabō (金棒). Although they're famous as fearsome ogres, modern Japanese culture often portrays oni in a playful and humorous way. During Setsubun (η―€εˆ†), people throw roasted soybeans while shouting γ€Œι¬Όγ―ε€–οΌη¦γ―ε†…οΌγ€ ("Demons out! Good fortune in!") to welcome good luck for the coming year.
