I outlined the beauty of the saxophone's curves with the shading of a single ink and the varying strength of the line, and added the key as an accent with a thin brush. Carrying the wind instrument's path of breath on the force of the brush, I aimed for a stillness that seems about to burst into sound.
— Sakana NamazuOriginal (Japanese)
サックスの曲線美を墨一色の濃淡と線の強弱で勾勒し、細筆で key を点景として添えた。管楽器の息の道を筆勢に乗せて、鳴りだしそうな静けさを狙いた。
