Festival of terrified children marks start of spring in southwestern Japan

The rag wearing Old Man Mottomo (L) visits a house in Nagasaki, southwestern Japan on the night of Feb. 3, 2016, to scare children by roaring and banging the floor with a long stick for the "Mottomo," a festival marking the change in seasons that has lasted for more than 100 years in the area.
