My new wallpaper is

Hi everyone!

You know, recently we have to stay home as much as possible for the virus. if can't it by a type of working, we spend only a little time in the office. I've been managed to both jobs, an illustrator and an office worker. At last, my company president ordered us to temporary absence from work in last middle week, and I'm in home from last Thursday. It's so late choice, but that's better than nothing. 

As same almost people(?), now I could get to having a time than usual days. Though, just because I and almost artists got free time doesn't mean we can start creating right away. We are in invisible fear. First, it is important to stabilize mental and economic conditions in family, but also there are many things that we can't help yourself. There are many exceptions...Anyway, I hope all lives will be safe.

So (so??), I changed my PC wallpaper after so long. It's a photo which I took at the Museum of Military History in Vienna (HGM - Heeresgeschichtliches Museum) - That's my holy site :))! I wish to up my motivation for my art project by some historic images and documents.

What a thin waist size!

Wonderful and treditional Vienna band, Hoch- und Deutschmeister! 帝国連隊楽団『歩兵第4連隊ホッホ・ウント・ドイッチュマイスター』

Hi everyone!

Though you already know, I've been painted the Austria-Hungary Empire uniform illustration for history research in recent years, and was able to self-publishing the artbook for Armistice 100th anniversary of the First World War in this 19 August. I'd love to thank many times for my family and friends who supported me. 

Artwork (a part) by Kumiko Sakaki

By the way, in my artbook there is the illustration, "Oberleutnant of k.u.k. Infanterieregiment Hoch- und Deutschmeister Nr. 4". Surprisely and amazily, Wonderful band from Wien in Austria, Hoch- und Deutschmeister k.u.k Wiener Regimentskapelle IR4 found my uniform illustration, and they were introduced my illustration on your Instagram page.

Yes, he in my artwork wears the same uniform color Himmelblau with the band :-) It’s my favorite color. 

their album "300 Jahre Maria Theresia"

As many music lovers or history researchers have knew, Deutschmeister band has a long history. Yes, the band has been activated traditionally from before Austria-Hungary era by many members, so we can still go to listen their music. This tradition is gradely priceless, and their album "300 Jahre Maria Theresia" (I have it) is great, stirring and powerful. Their band performances are amazing. "Ich freue mich, dass Sie meine Oberleutnant der IR4 gefunden haben. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Glück und Gesundheit. Vielen Dank!" is all I can come up with now genuinely :-)

Let's check it!

After the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, “Kizuna Projekt Wien” was established by thanks to the effort of  commanding officer of the Regimentskapelle, Major (iTr) Erich Kojeder and his wife Prof. Yukari Kojeder-Sakai mainly. I'm honner both countries cherish this friendship.
I heard from them they will perform at new event on next year. Austria and Japan will celebrate the 150th anniversary of our Friendship in 10 March 2019. 

Now,  I'm able to write the Japanese article of them through the kindness of the secretariat of Hoch- und Deutschmeister "k. u. k. Wiener Regimentskapelle IR4". He helped to write the English article for me. Thank you for all your help.  Now, let me tell you in Japanese language about the best Vienna brass band.
