Sumo grand champion Hakuho tosses beans at 'setsubun' festival in Japan

Sumo grand champion Hakuho throws beans during a ceremony at a temple in Narita, Japan, on Feb. 3 to pray for a bumper crop.

Temple-goers take part in a bean-flinging ceremony at "setsubun" - the last day of winter in the traditional lunar calendar - to ward off bad spirits.
