The Brand: Miroco Machiko was born in 1981 in Osaka, Japan. She began painting in 2004 and has since moved to Tokyo where she keeps her studio. Miroco has shown her paintings throughout Japan, created countless illustrated books and won a Japan Picture Book Award for her book, Ōkami ga Tobu Hi (The Day the Wolf Flies). Miroco is known for her love of animals and frequent depictions of wildlife in both painted and illustrated form. She works with bold colors and compositions and fills each piece with pattern and rich, saturated hues.
Description: We’ve carried Miroco’s calendars each year! Her delightful simplicity, color combinations and well-thought out line work brings daily inspiration throughout the seasons. For 2027, Miroco has created an animal-themed calendar featuring all-new illustrations created over the course of 12 months based on "Animal Shiritori", a Japanese word-chain game. We love the size and handiness of this desk calendar - it brings so much joy wherever it’s set.
Details: 5 1/2” inches tall x 3 1/2” inches wide. Letterpress printing. 12 pages with wooden stand. Sunday start. Made in Japan.
