What day is it today?
“I am a cat. I don’t have a name yet. I have no idea where I was born.”
The prompt is so perfect, it’s not funny at all.
February 21st is “Soseki Day”.
The day comes from the fact that on this day in 1911, when the Ministry of Education announced that it would award the author Natsume Soseki the title of Doctor of Literature, Soseki sent a letter to the then Director of the Ministry of Education’s Specialized Faculty Bureau in which he declined the doctorate, saying that he “did not need a title.”

“Soseki Day” prompt
Create a highly detailed anime-style portrait of a black cat gentleman in a vintage men's suit.
The style is surreal with an emphasis on intricate details like the checked suit, mustard yellow vest, and patterned bow tie.
The expression of the black cat gentleman is serious yet graceful, almost regal. Soft lighting highlights the texture of the fabric and the cat's fur.
The background is a rural town house, creating a subtle contrast with the rich colors of the suit.
The black cat's fur with highlights, sharp focus on the subject and depth of field.
A classic portrait style, reminiscent of antique photographic portraits, but digitally rendered in great detail. The overall atmosphere is sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing. Fine stitching on the elements of the suit. A small pocket square visible in the vest pocket subtly enhances the visual richness of the portrait.Summary of what day it is today: February 21st
