2月4日(ngatsu yokka): February 4

Today is risshun (立春), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季) the 24 solar terms. Last one was taikan (大寒) or daikan (大寒) on January 20 and the next one is usui (雨水) on February 19.
Risshun literally means stand spring, it is the first day of spring. It is still cold but today it was warmer than before.
