Practical design Amazon original calendar 2012 edition full version review

When going to the calendar department, a staple of classic design is exhibited with Walla Walla, but in real stores it is this Amazon original calendar that I can not see at first. I thought that it was only one type, and there were quite a variety of designs, there were not only wall-hanging but also desk-top type, etc. It was strangely fulfilling so we decided to examine the characteristics of each calendar.

First of all, the width is 30 cm or more"2012 calendar wall wall Amazon logotype (1433 yen including tax)".


The middle design is a simple design with the same orange grid as the cover. It is the same specification after February.


There is a perforation in the upper part of the calendar, and it is possible to cut it beautifully easily every month.


The notation of the day is alphabet, it is Sunday beginning. There is no description on Sixth such as "Daan", "Buddha", but holidays such as "Adult Day" are displayed in orange different from weekdays. Since the grid part is 5 vertical and 7 horizontal square in the frame of the day, it is convenient when writing the schedule etc.


In the upper right, the calendar of the previous month and next month, the second coming month is stated small. You can check the status of the last consecutive holidays and the last month at a glance, so the outlook will be better and the schedule will be easier to set up.


There is a hole in the upper center used to hang it on the wall. Although it is not reinforced with metal etc., it is in the middle properly, so it did not lean when hung on the wall.


Since the reverse side is pure white, after using it and cutting it out, you can use it even more when you write something.


I actually tried it, it looks sized like this


This time also the wall hanging specification"Amazon Original 2012 Calendar Wall Sakura (1374 yen including tax)"is.


The difference from "Amazon logotype" that you can see by looking at is that there are no detailed grid within the framework of each day. Other specifications are the same, the day begins Sunday in alphabetical notation. There is no statement on Sixth such as "Da'an", "Buddha", but holidays are displayed.


In the details, the illustrations under the small calendar with the preceding and following months on the upper right are listed properly every month.


Illustration in February is a squirt used for bean-throwing of Setsubun.


Illustration in March is plum.


The illustrations in April are cherry blossoms, and the background color is also pinkish like pink.


Illustration in May is Fuji flower.


Illustration of June is what saw a Japanese-style umbrella from above. After July, I am looking forward to buying it.


"FSC" written on the calendar cover is an abbreviation for "Forest Stewardship Council (Forest Stewardship Council)", a non-profit organization that is active in conserving the world's forests and using appropriate resources. The label "FSC Mix" indicates that it was created from raw materials and recycled fibers procured from the forest certified by this group, and although it is not superior as paper quality, it used some care It is using materials.


The size when actually hanging up is like this.


There are three types of desk-top type original calendars, and the wall-hanging type was made properly, whereas wrapping paper was cardboard only with Amazon logo.


First of all"Original 2012 calendar desk Amazon logotype (691 yen including tax)".


The notation of the day is alphabet, it is Sunday beginning. Although there is no mention of Sunday, holidays are displayed.


There is a grid like the wallpaper of "Amazon logotype" introduced on this page. Perhaps, the design is diverted? As I thought, it was confirmed that the orange ground color was hidden under the display of the day of the week, the grid was small one by one in the vertical and horizontal directions, we found that there was a subtle difference, so it was a different thing.


As a specification common to Amazon's original calendar, there is a small calendar on the upper right in the previous month, next month, and the next month.


Next is "Original 2012 Calendar Desktop Luckmuir (768 yen)" which is a characteristic design of a cover with illustration studded with Shochiku Mei and Mt. Fuji."Original 2012 calendar tabletop lucky card (768 yen)"is.


All desktop type calendars can be used by standing on a desk etc. because it becomes a triangle when folding the bottom.


Illustration in January is pine, color is green.


On the back side there was also a calendar printed only for the day and the English day's notation. This specification is the same after February.


Illustration in February is plum and color is red.


Illustration in March is a fan, color is brown.


Illustration of April is still cherry blossoms. The color is pink.


The illustration in May is the origami helmet which imaged "Children's Day". The color is green, but this seems to have something to do with May 's fresh green season rather than helmet' s color.


The illustrations in June are leaves. After July I am looking forward to buying it, but basically a simple illustration of the representative image of the month is drawn.


The notation of the day is alphabet, it is Sunday beginning. Although there is no mention of Sunday, holidays are displayed.


Since the size of the date frame is small, it seems difficult to write a lot of schedules, but it is enough if writing a simple schedule.

On the last page there was an annual calendar with a set of dates for one year.


Other desktop type calendars are the same, but the top fasteners that are put together are made of paper. Even if you picked it with your fingers it did not bend easily, so the level used for ordinary use has no problem of strength.


Last is an illustration of "The boy reading books under the tree" which is characteristically used in Amazon's e-book reader "Kindle" screensaver screen etc. entered"Original 2012 calendar desk top kindle version (806 yen including tax)".


As with the above two desktop types, the notation on the day of the week is alphabet and it is Sunday beginning. Although there is no mention of Sunday, holidays are displayed. If you look carefully, illustration is drawn by silhouette behind the date, January is a boy playing in a snowman.


The silhouette of February is a bean mulberry.


The silhouette of March is a bicycle and a child. Trees are also blossoming.


The silhouette of April is a child following a butterfly.


The silhouette of May is boys with carp streamers.


The silhouette of June is an umbrella and a child.


The calendar was impressive that the date display was easy to see and the paper quality was not bad so it was a finish enough to withstand practical use. The price is not surprisingly cheap, but it is nice to have a free shipping fee. It is worth considering as one of the options unless you have a special feeling and are using a specific calendar.
