transition of a calendar
2018 02 01 - 02 25

This year marks the 41st year of Otsuka Pharmaceutical's calendar for the medical community.
Each year, many people wait for the calendars to arrive because of the interesting themes introduced with valuable materials and concise text from a variety of perspectives related to medicine and medical care.

The calendar series is also unique in that it has been designed by one designer, Helmut Schmidt, since its inception.
Since the calendars only last for a limited number of years and are not distributed to the public, they are not recorded.
This exhibition lists and documents the calendars.

The first 10 years were a period of exploration of the format.
There were also small trials and errors in the following 10 years.
In the 20th year, 1997, the calendar was produced using QuarkXPress page formatting software, and in 2014, it was produced using InDesign, showing the transition in production technology.
