While out today I saw some colorful Setsubun decorations being prepared at a temple near my house, I took a quick picture which you can see below.
On the left you can see an "Oni" or demon with a message on him that would be directly translated as "Dismissal of evil spirits". On the right is one of the lucky gods (not exactly sure which...Ebisu?) arriving with what looks like a bag emblazoned with the words "Welcome to good luck". The translations are always a little funny but the meaning is "Out with the bad and in with the good". I thought it was interesting how even the Oni look kind of cute and would not be out of place if found in a manga.
