47 Ronin - Chushingura
The story of the 47 Ronin (Ako Roshi) is a famous samurai story from Old Japan about loyalty, selfless sacrifice, and revenge. In 1701, Asano Naganori, lord of Ako, attacked the Master of Court Ceremony over verbal abuse in the Shogun's castle. He was immediately ordered to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) and his lands were confiscated from his family and his samurai retainers subsequently let go to become ronin, masterless samurai.
47 former retainers struck back on December 14th, 1702 and killed the Master of Court Ceremony. Their deed was lauded by the public but because they broke the law they had to be punished; however they were allowed the honor of seppuku rather than execution as a criminals.
The 47 Ronin are celebrated in kabuki, art, movies, TV shows, manga, anime, etc...-

Setsubun - Japanese Drive Out Devils With Beans 節分
Setsubun is a Japanese tradition on February 3rd where Japanese drive out bad luck in the form of devils known as oni. They throw beans and shout: "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" which means "Devils out! Good luck in!"
Setsubun is like New Year's, Halloween, and a bit of Groundhog day are mixed into one. Originally Setsubun was the Lunar New Year's Eve and was seen as the first day of Spring despite still being dead in winter but like Groundhog Day there' that wishful thinking for Winter to end soon. It's like Halloween because people will wear devil (oni) masks especially fathers in their homes and children will thrown beans to "banish" them. At temples and shrines you can get beans, mochi, and other sweets thrown to (or rather at) you.
The tradition goes back to the 8th or 9th century and was originally from China.
Many temples and shrines have Setsubun activities and they do mame-maki, throwing of beans and other items to gathered crowds. Sometimes celebrities and sumo wrestlers participate.
It's one of my favorite traditions in Japan and I always go somewhere for the event. This is a series of videos I have shot of Setsubun activities as various temples and shrines in and around Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Shikoku, etc... See devils, gods, celebs, sumo wrestlers, and geisha in the very unique tradition of Setsubun.-
