A one-sheet calendar for the year Meiji 17, printed a decade after Japan adopted the Western calendar. The two large characters, 大 and 小, sort the months into long and short; the columns below list the days and festivals of the year.
Paper of Everyday Life
Unknown printers
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.
