I've been busy in the studio, and I'm happy to share that my 2024 mini-calendars of art and haiku are now available! There are also a couple of new vinyl dog and cat stickers. And I've brought back two beloved holiday notecard sets, plus there are eight more notecard designs to choose from.
As ever, I also offer single cards for birthdays, holidays and more. You can view all current designs and other products in the Makino Studios shop. Shipping is free for orders of $35 and up; just enter promo code FREESHIP35 at checkout. Happy autumn!

Please note this is the 2024 calendar, for those who just want to enjoy the art. The 2025 calendar is available here.
Featuring peaceful landscapes and animals, this wall calendar expresses Zen wisdom as well as quiet wonder and delight in the world.
The Japanese-inspired collages in this calendar include haiku by award-winning poet Annette Makino. She created each of these collages with washi papers from Asia as well as found papers that she hand-paints and tears.
This mini-calendar measures 5-1/2” wide by 7” tall closed (5-1/2” x 14” open), so it will easily fit in a small space. Major US holidays are listed. All twelve designs are shown on the back. The calendar includes an artist’s bio and some background on haiku and haiga (haiku art).
These are professionally printed in the USA on substantial paper and saddle-stitched. Each calendar is packaged in a self-sealing cellophane sleeve.
Many users of past Makino Studios calendars save and hang up each month’s painting after it has passed or give the image to a friend. The new calendar makes a great gift that may continue to bring pleasure well past 2024.
joy and peace
A fluffy red fox takes in the stillness of the snow-covered woods in this holiday card, while the simple words go right to the heart of the season.
