Japanese crossword «Birdie»

This took hours but was worth every minute. The picture is so good, and the big size allows great detail. This was so much fun, thank you.

The picture was pretty, but the puzzle was outright TORTURE. So many 1-blocks, it was both insane amounts of work and pointlessly difficult, especially with so many similar, mute tones. I usually really enjoy difficult puzzles even when they take me days to solve; this one was just unpleasant from start to finish.

Thanks Hackepeter. As usual, the puzzle is perfect and the resulting picture is excellent. Please keep going.

Spent almost 21 hours total doing this. Very happy to be able to finish, but parts of this was very hard to get to. But all in all, a very nice picture.
