What day is it today?
There are a lot of “XX days” this time, too many. So I’ve mixed in a few today as well.
“Flute” seems difficult.
February 10th is “Flute Day”. It is a play on words of “Flute (2) Root (10)”. The Japan Flute Promotion Council registered with the Japan Anniversary Association in 2019 and established the day.

“Flute Day” prompt
Create an anime-style portrait of a woman playing the flute on her futon.
She is dressed for social occasions, yet elegant and clean, wearing a long dress that exposes her shoulders.
Her hair is long and flowing.
In the background, a spotlight shines on a pork bowl on the stage of the Imperial Theatre, and an envelope flies in the air.
The design is in a hyper-realistic style that shows the fine details of the clothing and accessories.Summary of what day it is today: February 10th
