Question
Hi , Jewel I am hoping to find out some information concerning a calender I purchased recently at an estate sell.
The calender is from the year 1912,
the art work on the calender is  a woman ,two children ,a tree with blossoms and a large ghost like figure .They may possibly be standing on ice or snow.Do you have any idea what this ghost like figure may represent? I might add ,that I am hoping it is Japanese (?)

Answer
I'm sorry but I can't tell you much about it without looking at it. If you can scan it and give me the website address maybe I can tell you more, however this is not in my expertise and may not be able to help anyway. Good luck with it in any case.
