The exhibition is an annual feature of the cultural activities organised by the embassy of Japan, which is popular among the people of Pakistan. This year, around 114 calendars have been put on display in the exhibition with the cooperation of the Japan Calendars Association, Tokyo and various Japanese companies.
The calendars displayed feature various themes related to the Japanese traditional and contemporary arts, sports, automobiles, nature, cultural heritage and architecture. Since every calendar is a piece of art, the Japan Calendar Association has tried their best to attract the viewers through different subjects and mediums.
The exhibition not only gives a picture of the socio-cultural development of Japan spread over centuries, but also exhibits the aesthetic features of the Japanese printing technology.
