If interested, try looking for bonsai calendars which have been printed for
US sellers. They are relatively inexpensive and use calendar conventions
familiar enough to use as a quick reference. Some even list the days of the
week in English. Billy mentioned bonsaimonk.com, but I've seen similar ones
offered by IBS and others.

Holidays are usually in Japanese, as are the brief descriptions of the
trees. The characters for different species are recognizable with a little
practice. I recommend it, it makes these lovely calendars even more
enjoyable!

I agree. The wall calendar I get from BonsaiToday.com every
year has a July pic of a whimsical windswept grove of what
look to be white pines, and an even-more-whimsical,
stork-like pine of (I think) the same species. Sunday is
where it belongs, and the month and days of the week are in
English.

Couldn't do without mine -- and I too will miss the Takagai
desk calendar - postcards.
