Each monthly photo has an English caption, and both Japanese and American holidays are included.<\/p>\n<p>You can see a preview of the calendar&#8217;s 12 months above. Click on the right arrow button. To see a larger view,\u00a0click on the Full Screen Mode button. (Then you can read the captions too.) \u00a0The last page is displayed as black, but it&#8217;s actually white. The calendar size is 8.5 inches x 11 inches when closed. When open and hung on the wall, the calendar is 17 in. high and 11 in. wide.<\/p>\n<p>The calendar is available for sale online at lulu.com based in the U.S. Just click on the Buy Now button (and get your credit card ready). The price is $15.22 plus shipping. Shipping within the U.S. will cost only a few dollars via ordinary mail. If you&#8217;re in Japan, the postage will cost $10.48 for one copy only. If you order five or more copies at one time, the calendar cost and shipping cost will get much cheaper. ($38.92 to ship 10 copies, for example.) It takes about 3 weeks for your order to arrive in Japan via ordinary mail. Express mail and trackable shipping options are also available, but expensive. You can also order from Japan and have the calendar shipped to an address in the U.S. or other countries which may be cheaper. It is cheapest to ship within the U.S. Makes a great gift.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of photos in the calendar. I tried to include as many cities and towns as possible, but it was impossible to include all 26 municipalities of Shiga in a 12-month calendar. I plan to publish a Shiga calendar every year from now on, so those missing cities\/towns will be included in the 2011 calendar and later.<\/p>\n<p>Cover: Shigaraki-ware tanuki (raccoon dog)<br \/>\nJan.: Nagisa Park rape blossoms, Moriyama<br \/>\nFeb.: Hokoen Park plum blossoms and Nagahama Castle, Nagahama<br \/>\nMar.: Tsuchiyama Saio Princess Procession, Koka<br \/>\nApr.: Hikone Castle cherry blossoms<br \/>\nMay: Niu Chawan Matsuri, Yogo<br \/>\nJune: Taga Taisha rice planting festival, Taga<br \/>\nJuly: Omi-Maiko beach, Otsu<br \/>\nAug.: Imazu Regatta, Takashima<br \/>\nSep.: Azuchi Castle replica (Nobunaga no Yakata museum), Azuchi<br \/>\nOct.: Ibukiyama Taiko Drum Dance, Maibara<br \/>\nNov.: Kongorinji temple, Aisho<br \/>\nDec.: Mascot characters (Dotaku-kun, Tabimaru, Hiko-nyan)<\/p>\n<p>The calendars are also selling for 2,000 yen at the Biwako Shuko no Uta Shiryokan museum (Phone: 0740-22-2108) in Imazu, Takashima.
