2008 MICHAEL KENNA WALL CALENDAR
Photography by Michael Kenna

Published by Nazraeli Press, Portland, OR, 2006

LIMITED EDITION

Michael Kenna’s annual wall calendar is like a rite of passage – another year has passed, and another year of beautiful images is set upon us. Once again, Michael Kenna has pulled together some of his favorite images to grace the months of the year, bringing joy to even the most dismal months.

This year’s calendar is limited to only 2,000 copies worldwide, and I guarantee that they will sell-out quickly, so early purchases are strongly suggested. As in the past, Nazraeli Press has printed the calendar on uncoated, natural heavy stock matte Japanese paper using “Daido black” ink, which just melds with the paper. Each calendar measures 18 x 14 inches, and each monthly image is 10.5 x 11 inches. There are 13 images in total in this year’s Issue, and as usual, is bound by spiral wire. The calendars are presented in AS NEW/PRISTINE condition, and still under Publisher’s wraps, and will be shipped in sturdy flat boxes for transit security.

This is a beautiful work of art, like all the other masterpieces Michael produces. Don’t miss-out!
