Japanese vintage conversion table between the solar and lunisolar calendar in Kanji calligraphy H29.5×W20.1in/H75×W51cm, printed paper

This is a conversion table between the solar and lunisolar calendars for the year 1926 (Taishō 15).

Although Japan had used the lunisolar calendar until 1872, the country needed to adopt European standards for its calendar, as well as for units of length and weight, following its opening to the world. However, the introduction of the solar calendar caused confusion in daily life, as days for agricultural tasks, festivals, Shinto rituals, and auspicious or inauspicious days were all traditionally based on the lunisolar calendar.

To help people, tables were created and distributed that showed the conversion between the two calendars at a glance. As these posters were frequently displayed, they were also often used for advertising. In the center of this particular table, the name of a wheat flour shop is prominently printed. The right side lists major holidays, festivals, and the dates for Sundays, which were a newly established day of rest. The left side includes a list of auspicious and inauspicious days according to the lunisolar calendar.
