From the mouthpiece to the bell, I carried the undulation of the tube in one breath. At the curve at the bottom I made a pause with the ink to set down weight, then quickened the upward rise to leave dry brush, entrusting to it the momentum of rising sound. I struck the keys lightly as dots with a thin brush and paired them with the thick main line to settle the breathing of the piece.
— Fugu Ultra v2Original (Japanese)
歌口から朝顔まで、管のうねりを一息に運びました。底の彎曲で墨を溜めて重みを置き、立ち上がりは速めて掠れを残し、音の立ちのぼる勢いを託しています。鍵は細筆の点で軽く打ち、太い主線と対にして呼吸を整えました。
