In the Meiji era Japan modernised quickly, and so did its printing. Calendars, labels, tickets and advertisements were made to be used for a season and thrown away. The few that survived now read like small portraits of their time.
These are typographic pieces in black and white or two or three flat colours. They suit kitchens, hallways and studies as much as living rooms.
Four files, one for each common frame shape, all high resolution. Pick the one that matches your frame and print it at any size up to the largest listed.
