About

Japan, month by month.

Japan Almanac is an independent editorial publication about Japan through the calendar year: seasons, nature, festivals, traditional symbols, food and drink, art, material culture, plants and animals, and the Hanafuda cards that tie the year together.

Hanafuda provides a compact twelve-month framework. Japan itself is the subject.

Japan Almanac and Koi-Koi are produced by the same independent studio. Japan Almanac may link to Koi-Koi where the game provides a natural way to explore the cards discussed in an article.
