special japanese calendars...

we are happy to be selling two special japanese desk top calendars this season.

one of the calendars is created by Keisuke Serizawa. Serizawa was born in 1895 and passed in 1984. he was authorized as a living national treasure in 1956. 

Keisuke Serizawa learned a lot about the method of BINGATA and stencil hand-dying in Okinawa. Afterwards, he perfected the real essence of designing stencil patterns. There are no cut corners or poor quality in his works. Though he always strove for the best work, he nevertheless hated extremely exaggerated work. He put emphasis on the ordinary. This is the greatest characteristic in his view of beauty and is the reason why he was one of the great leaders of the Mingei movement. i love the emphasis on the ordinary.

the second of the calendars we have is created by artist Shiro Imada. another sweet and simple calendar to bring joy throughout the year.
