What day is it today?
It was really hard! It’s hard to describe the process of doing something well.
Maybe I’m not good at explaining things, but I’ve managed to get to the point where I can see it.
April 13th is “Coffee Shop Day.” It commemorates the day in 1888 when Japan’s first coffee shop, Kahisakan, opened in Nishikuromodocho, Ueno, Shitaya, Tokyo.

“Coffee Shop Day” prompt
A young, anime-style woman in military uniform is saluting with a determined expression.
She wears a dark green military jacket reminiscent of a German officer's uniform.
The jacket has distinctive epaulette and insignia details, with various straps and buttons.
She wears a German black officer's cap, long light grey-silver hair draped over her shoulders, and round-framed glasses.
Around her neck she wears a silver cross jewelry and a large red brooch with the German Iron Cross on her chest.
The background has a soft, impressionistic painterly aesthetic, with muted greys, browns and muted whites, creating hints of dramatic light and shadow, while many areas are soft-focused, mimicking a photograph.
The focus is primarily on the figure itself.
The style recalls the wartime aesthetic of the military, with a semi-hyperrealistic approach to the details of the uniform. The image is not photorealistic, but features a painterly quality.
