Bingata & Yaeyama Dialect Calendar

This calendar combines flowers from Ishigaki Island, depicted using the traditional Okinawan craft of Bingata dyeing, with Yaeyama dialect phrases expressed through calligraphy. Why not bring a touch of the tropics into your home with a new artwork and Yaeyama dialect phrase each month? The paper used is Geta paper, made from fragrant ginger lily that blooms in early summer in Okinawa. Geta paper, with its warm, natural hues, complements any interior style. ■ Size Postcard Stand type ■ Paper Geta paper, made from fragrant ginger lily that blooms in early summer in Okinawa ■ Artwork Introduction Month / Artwork Title / Yaeyama Dialect / Meaning January / Treasure Ascending Dragon / Kariyushi / Auspicious February / Phoenix / Chimudon Don / Exciting March / Island Full Bloom / Gibarīyō / Do your best!
