  1. Someome seems to be fully prepared to fend off his/her car against oni/demons :)

    WiFollowing jaoanese folklore wisteria is a plant that repels oni/demons.
    There are different thoughts why:
    A strong scent (protection via smell)
    A sacred plant (a vessel for the gods)
    A member of the pea/bean family (protection via hama)

    Peas/beans are thrown during the Setsubun festival while shouting "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" ("Demons out! Good luck in!")
