What day is it today?
This is a good question to check how much you have learned about Japan.
“ChatGPT IMAGE” is faithful to the prompts.
“DALL・E 3” is unusually neglectful.
“Recraft V3” is too realistic but somehow strange.
“Flux 1.1 Pro” has an exquisite atmosphere.
“Midjourney” is too anime-like but has amazing details.
“SeaArt AI” ignores instructions as usual.
“Leonardo AI” always cooks on a platter.
I guess it seems like they’ve learned quite a bit.
But there are a lot of pictures with deep meaning…
April 29th was “Showa Day” and was “Greenery Day” until 2006. It was newly established when “Greenery Day” was changed to May 4th.

“Showa Day” prompt
Create an anime-style portrait of the interior of a Showa-era retro house.
The room has tatami mats, a TV and a chest of drawers.
In the center of the room is a dining table with rice, miso soup, grilled fish and pickles lined up.
A man and a woman are seated around the table.
A Japanese garden is set in the background, adding a historical feel.
The lighting is soft and natural, with light coming from the Japanese garden shining on the table.
The overall aesthetic is a retro, nostalgic, hyper-realistic look that creates an exquisite space.
