Daily Calendar with Note 2026 / Shin Nihon Calendar

Winner of both the Good Design Award and the Long Life Design Award, the New Japan Daily Calendar is a tear-off daily calendar with a page for each day of the year. Tearing off the page each day offers a small but deeply satisfying daily ritual. Designed for cultural enrichment and mindful living, this traditional-style calendar includes a wealth of information beyond just the date. 

Each day’s page features:

• Rokuyō (六曜): A six-day traditional fortune-telling calendar used to determine auspicious or inauspicious days, commonly consulted for weddings, funerals, and events. The six types include Taian (most lucky), Butsumetsu (least lucky), and others with morning/afternoon variations in luck.

• Seasonal data: Includes solar terms (nijūshi sekki) like Shunbun (spring equinox) and micro-seasons (shichijūni kō), such as "frogs start to croak" or "first frost falls", offering a poetic connection to Japan’s shifting natural rhythms.

• Japanese proverbs: Each day is accompanied by a traditional saying—sometimes humorous, often wise—that reflects centuries of cultural wisdom.
