On February 6, the USJC New York Regional Committee, chaired by USJC Board Member Terry Suzuki (ORIX Corporation USA), held a Setsubun Soir\u00e9e at Japan Society to \u201cdrive out demons and welcome good fortune.\u201d Members and sponsors were also joined by special guest Dr. Joshua Walker (Japan Society) and Consul MORI Kazuya (Consulate General of Japan in New York) who delivered opening remarks on the tradition of Setsubun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USJC Board Member Terry Suzuki got into character by dressing up as an oni (Japanese demon) and performed the traditional \u201coni wa soto\u201d and \u201cfuku wa uchi\u201d ritual. Many of the new members threw beans at the oni to bring luck in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
