Shofuku Manpuku Cat Daily Calendar 2026 / Shin Nihon Calendar

Add a cheerful, cultural touch to your everyday routine with these delightful tear-off daily calendars featuring beloved cat characters Kabamaru and Nekofuku, both illustrated by renowned ink artist Hajime Okamoto. Designed with charm and tradition, each calendar not only showcases adorable artwork but also brings a wealth of classic Japanese calendar information to your desk or wall.

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.
