Birds and Flowers: An Album of Japanese Silk Paintings 2011 Mini Wall Calendar

The twelve delicately detailed images in this compact wall calendar are from an album of paintings on silk made by an unknown artist during Japan's Edo period (1615-1868). Each is a tiny world unto itself, a meditative, serenely executed study of a flowering plant or of a solitary bird enjoying a seasonal bloom or branch. The quiet beauty of these subtle, graceful images will lend a sense of peace and harmony to each month of the year.
