English translation by Perplexity below Vol. 29 — Demons and Fortune Sydney is still basking in strong sunlight, but in Japan, spring is gradually approaching with Risshun , the first day of spring. February 3rd marks Setsubun , a day when we scatter soybeans to drive away demons and invite good fortune. It made me wonder — what are the “demons” and “fortune” in my own life?
