Utagawa Hiroshige Planners and Calendars 2012

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Literally meaning "pictures of the floating world", ukiyo-e refers to the famous Japanese woodblock print genre that originated in the 17th century and is practically synonymous with the Western world's visual characterization of Japan. Though Hiroshige captured a variety of subjects, his greatest talent was in creating landscapes of his native Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and his most famous work was a series known as "100 Famous Views of Edo" (1856 - 1858). This poster-sized calendar features a dozen ready-to-frame prints.

Haiku Japanese Art and Poetry 2012 Wall CalendarHaiku Japanese Art and Poetry 2012 Wall Calendar
The traditional Japanese haiku contains seventeen sound characters, a seasonal reference, and a distinct pause or interruption. The seasonal allusion emphasizes the essence of haiku: nature and its ephemeral beauty. The deceptively simple haiku featured in this calendar-rendered in English with Japanese calligraphies and transliterations-are from Pomegranate's book Haiku: Japanese Art and Poetry, by Judith Patt, Michiko Warkentyne, and Barry Till. The poems are paired with ukiyo-e prints and shin hanga woodcuts, which, with their depth and delicacy, quietly capture a moment in time.
