On the 3rd of Setsubun, at Naritasan Fudoson Temple in Neyagawa City, Osaka, the bean-throwing event was held for the first time in three years, with the participation of Haruka Fukuhara, who plays the heroine in NHK's TV series "Maiagare!".
At Naritasan Fudoson, bean-throwing was held every year on the day of Setsubun, but last year and last year it was canceled due to the influence of the new corona, and was held for the first time in three years.
A 150-meter-long stage has been set up in the precincts, featuring Haruka Fukuhara, who plays the heroine Mai in the NHK drama series "Mai Agare!", Eiji Akaso, who plays her childhood friend, and Furutachi, who plays the factory worker where Mai works. Mr. Kanji participated as a guest.
Mr. Fukuhara scooped the beans from an extra-large masu measuring 150 centimeters in length and width, and threw the beans in time with the slogan, “Fuku wa uchi,” and the people who gathered were holding up paper bags to receive them.
At Naritasan Fudoson, it is said that demons will change their minds in front of the Fudo Myo-o enshrined in the precincts, so it is characteristic that they do not say ``Oni wa soto''.
A woman in her 50s who visited from Katano City, Osaka said, ``It seems that there will be something good to see Mr. Fukuhara and others from 'Mary Agare!'
