Create Your Own Japanese Art Calendar for 2026
This unique coloring page combines the therapeutic benefits of art with the practical use of a monthly calendar.
Featuring a realistic “Nemuri-neko” (sleeping cat), this page is perfect for seniors looking to keep their minds sharp and their surroundings beautiful.
Language Focus: Days of the Week in Japanese
Japanese calendars use elemental symbols for the days of the week. Use this coloring time to memorize them:
- Nichiyoubi (日曜日): Sunday (Sun Day)
- Getsuyoubi (月曜日): Monday (Moon Day)
- Kayoubi (火曜日): Tuesday (Fire Day)
Why use a coloring calendar?
It encourages a daily routine and provides a sense of time and season. In Japan, seasonal changes are celebrated deeply, and tracking them with a personalized cat calendar is a wonderful way to embrace the “Seasonal Feeling” (Kisetsukan).
