Risshun (the first day of spring according to the lunar calendar) was February 4, and Setsubun is the day before the Risshun. Setsubun means a day to divide two seasons, winter and spring.
And after winter, baseball is back. Spring training in Japan has already started. MLB will start the end of February, too. The teams have new commers and veterans, and they prepare for the new season. The pitcher, Masahiro Tanaka who contract Yankees with big money, is still training in Japan. I heard he will leave Japan on next Sunday (9/Feb.). I hope he success in big league.
