Notes: just as the title says, this is a scan of the AoKise calendar. It's a school calendar, which means it starts in April and runs until March 2014
XD So this is actually going to
persiii. It was one of the last 2 on the shelf, and when I saw it I was kind of meh until I saw the samples on the back and also that Tanaka had done one of the pages (hers is December). I don't think much needs to be said about the art - it's all brilliant and beautiful - but I suppose I should write a little about the holidays that the pictures are about (not that you couldn't just look this up):
April: sakura blossoms; a must for the beginning of the Japanese school year + a sign of graduation.
May: Boy's Day; also known as koi nobori no hi (鯉幟の日), where they fly the carp fish banners.
June: rain; Japan's traditional rainy season, tsuyu (梅雨), is during this time.
July: Tanabata; where you write your wish on a tag and tie it to a bamboo stalk.
August: going to the beach during summer vacation.
September: seeing the full moon during tsukimi (月見), or moon-viewing festival (like sakura-viewing).
October: Halloween
November: falling leaves/red leaves, which are the 2nd largest nature-viewing event in Japan.
December: snow; cold; Christmas, supposedly.
January: New Years, which is a big deal in Japan. The game they're playing is hanetsuki (羽根突き).
February: Valentine's Day.
March: coming of Spring, which is why there's some sakura on the ground.
Oh, and...apparently there are little birthday cakes for all the MiraGen birthdays? It's freaking adorable XD
Anyways,
here you are on Mediafire, enjoy!
