Constructor's Note
Themeless. For fun, this crossword has a Japanese-style grid, where black squares cannot touch or appear in the corners, but white squares don’t need both an Across and a Down. You don’t need to know that to solve the puzzle, though.
I make puzzles (of all different kinds, not just crosswords!) at https://puzzlesforprogress.net. If you liked this puzzle, you might like those!
