"Japanese art calandar hanging question"
, posted Tue 12 Mar 21:54
I hava a Japanese Calandar. It has a hole through the top binding so that it can be hung on a hook. If I filp the page over the hole is blocked, so it can't be hung on the hook. :'(
The only solutions are to remove pages after the months have passed which of course I don't want to do, (maybe you're supposed to be able to do this and be able to replace the pages later, but the binding's so tight I don't wanna risk it just yet..) or to rig up a wire to drape it over that hopefully won't damage it. Of course if this is what calandar owners are supposed to do, than it doesn't really make sense why the manufacturer pluged a hanging-hole in it in the first place..
My question is how am I supposed to hang this thing on the wall? Sense many of you are in to extra-gaming stuff I thought I'd ask this question here and hopefully get some info. Maybe these type of calandars are more popular in Japan so someone who's Japanese or has owned one of these types of calandars would known what to do with them. Thanks

If the top part of the calendar is made out of metal (or relatively hard plastic), you can stick two small nails to the sides and use two thumb tags (or something similar) to support the each end. I used to have a calendar that I wanted to keep each pages intact, so I used the above method... That way, you can simply flip over the past month's pages rather than tearing them out to use the hole.

]- & -[ : small nail O : thumb tags/pegs ========: top part of the calendar that holds all the pages together (never mind all those __, they're just used as placeholder)
Hope you can understand the method I described a bit clearly from the crappy ascii render...

You may also try putting the calendar into a poster hanger
Myself, I just rip it off carefully since that seems to be what the calendar is designed for. Plus it gives me a chance to use them as seperate posters later...(Yeah, I know it ruins it...But I wanna plaster my wall in CCS pics...err...I'll go hide now...^^)
