Another year has come bringing a new Setsubun - Hoshimatsuri to Little Tokyo. Commonly known as the bean throwing ceremony, Setsubun is the time to cleanse one of evil spirits coinciding with the Lunar New Years. This year former Sumo Wrestling Champion Yamamotoyama Ryūta and 2015 Nisei Queen Tori Angela Nishinaka-Leon joined the festivities throwing soy beans at the "Oni" demon played by our dear friend and long time Koyasan Temple member & Taiko Drummer Brandon Paris.
