On Setsubun, Japanese people typically participate in rituals such as mamemaki (bean throwing) to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck into their homes. They also eat lucky foods like makizushi (rolled sushi) while facing a specific compass direction believed to bring good fortune for the coming year. Some may also visit temples or shrines to participate in traditional ceremonies.
There are so many holidays that Japan has and celebrates. Some of the holidays include Setsubun which is the beginning of spring, Shogatsu which is New Year's, Valentine's Day, and many more.
The oni are referred to as demons, devils, ogres or trolls. The masks are often ogre-like with horns. However, the imagination of the creators is what sets these masks apart. The masks really do not fall into categories, just a little different uses with different cultural celebrations, such as parades, the Setsubun festival, and even in the design of new buildings.

The bean throwing ceremony, or setsubun, has records going all the way back to around the 13 century. Nowadays, people will through beans to dispel the evil spirits of the past year, but in the 13 century they did it a little different... for example, it became a custom to drive away evil spirits by the strong smell of burning dried sardine heads, the smoke of burning wood and the noise of drums. While this custom is not popular anymore, a few people still decorate their house entrances with fish heads and holy tree leaves in order to deter evil spirits from entering.
