A live event gathering artists born in 1966 – the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac calendar, which occurs only once every 60 years – is set to take place in March in Tokyo and Osaka.

Due to negative superstitions about the Fire Horse year, Japan saw a significant decrease in the number of births in 1966.

First-time participant Koizumi shared, “I’ve been referred to as a ‘woman born in the Fire Horse year’ since childhood, but finally, a new generation will be born this year.”

    There is a superstition that “a woman born in the year of the fire horse has a strong temperament, shortens her husband’s life and bring ruin to their families and maybe even kill their husbands.” It is said that the superstition in the early Edo period that “there are many fires in the year of the fire horse”, changed to a superstition about women’s marriage because Yaoya Oshichi was believed to have been born during the fire horse.
