Today is the day for a game of quarterfinals of 5th Mynavi Joshi Open between three crown Satomi Kana and Joryu Oza Kato Momoko. Both are Shoreikai 1kyu as well. As a result of Furigoma, Satomi became Sente. The game started at 10:00am at JSA building in Sendagaya, Tokyo. The allotted thinking time per player is three hours so I think it will end after 4:00pm(JST) today.
You can replay and watch the game on the official liveboard linked below;

Interestingly, the game followed the developemnt of the game played on December 21, 1976, before they were born, between Nakahara Makoto and Kato Hifumi up to the 36th move. Another precedent is Oyama Yasuharu vs Kato Hifumi, played on March 1968.
