A scarce and very charming set of Katazome 1962 Calendar pages, created by Japanese National Living Treasure Keisuke Serizawa (1895 - 1984), who was a true master of this simple yet elegant hand stencil printing technique on fabric and paper in Japan. Many museums (like the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and The British Museum) hold examples of Serizawa’s kataezome calendars in their collections. They’re recognized not just as calendars, but as works of art.
