Yep, it's same box called "Masu". We usually use Masu for sake, but only on Setsubun day, we put beans in it.
And there is another story for the third photo. It's ordinary rolled sushi, but only on Setsubun day, we call it "Ehoh-maki", and we eat whole roll of it for good luck (one roll for one person, don't cut it), while facing the year's auspicious direction. Well, this year's direction is "Koh", that means 75 degrees of azimuth angle (starts from north, and go clock wise).
