Hello :-) I'm a Japanese girl aged 16. Tomorrow is "Setsubun" in Japan. (Feb. 3) Setsubun literally means the day of the change of season. In the evening of this day, we scatter parched soy beans inside and outside our houses. In the past, people believed that by scarttering the beans they could drive away misfortune. 
This card is showing the town where I'm writing. It's just next to my hometown in the Rul area of Germany. - Sandra
