About Japanese Kumano Kodo Kalendaryo

Mayroong maraming lumang kalsada sa Japan tulad ng Oshu Highway, Tokaido, Sanyo Highway, Kumano Kodo, Nagasaki Highway, at Minoji. Gamit ang mga temang ito, lumikha ang designer ng isang makulay na korporatibong kalendaryo. Isang makulay na kalendaryo na may lokal na pista at kultura bilang motif. Sa mga ito, ang Kumano Kodo ay ginamit bilang peregrinasyon patungo sa Kumano mula noong humigit-kumulang 908 at ginagamit pa rin ng mga tao hanggang ngayon. Ito ay isang UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Unique Properties
I drew an illustration for a corporate calendar (Nippon Paint) with the motif of an old Japanese highway.
There are many old roads in Japan such as Oshu Highway, Tokaido, Sanyo Highway, Kumano Kodo, Nagasaki Highway and Minoji. With these themes, we have created a colorful corporate calendar (Nippon Paint). Among them, the Kumano Kodo is located in the center of Japan and was used by the Kumano worship (a place of nature worship) since the Heian period (around 908), and is still maintained by people (also used as a living road). It is a highway that is carefully used. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004.
I finished it in one picture with the motif of "Nachi Fire Festival" and "Nachi Falls" which are the festivals of Kumano Shrine that live in life.
