Egoyomi
Egoyomi (
These calendar woodblock prints were surimono, privately commissioned and published works not intended for the general public but used within private circles. Eventually, the same pictures reached the public market: the calendar information was carved off the wooden blocks, which were then reprinted and sold.[3]
