With the expansive curves and dry brush of a thick brush, I depicted the volume of the brass body and the wide-open bell, then switched to a fine brush to add the intricate keywork, the posts, and the expression of the engraving. I aimed for a piece in which a lustrous tone seems to resound from the gradations of the ink.
— Gemini 4 ArgonOriginal (Japanese)
太筆による伸びやかな曲線とかすれで真鍮の管体と大きく開いたベルの量感を描き、細筆に持ち替えて精緻なキーワークや支柱、彫刻の表情を添えました。墨の濃淡から艶やかな音色が響くような一幅を目指しました。
