January 10 is known as toka ebisu(十日戎). It is a festival of the shrines which enshrine one of the seven gods (七福神：shichi fuku jin) named Ebisu sama(恵比寿様). It is held in western Japan. People visit the shrines wishing for the prosperous business (商売繁盛：shobai hanjo). Usually the festival lasts for 3 days from 9th to 11th.
Today I went to see the musical "Casa Blanca" of Takarazuka kagekidan(宝塚歌劇団) for the first time after becoming an adult. The Takarazuka Revue is a Japanese all-female musical troupe based in the city of Takarazuka, Hyogo prefecture (兵庫県宝塚市). There are two theaters now, one is in Takarazuka, and the other is in Tokyo.
There are five troupes. Hana (花): Flower, Tsuki (月): Moon, Yuki (雪): Snow, Hoshi (星): Star, and Sora (宙): Cosmos. I watched the Cosmos Troupe.
Since its first performance in 1914, there has been so many fans.
Kabuki (歌舞伎) is played by all men.
Today the January Grand Sumo Tournament (初場所:hatsu basho) started at Ryogoku kokugikan (両国国技館)in Tokyo.
