The Japanese really know how to live it up with a 2008 calendar that’s made out of pure gold. It was originally slated to have a price tag of approximately $173,732 after conversion, but due to recent gold prices that has soared, it will retail for approximately $259,560. The entire golden calendar measures 67cm x 42cm and weighs approximately 6kg. No worries about not being able to make use of it after the next year is over since you can always melt the whole calendar down and fashion it as jewelry instead. Behind the calendar includes printed images from the picture scroll of the “Tale of Genji”. The calendar will be produced in a quantity that is proportionate to demand.
