Monthly Calendar
Monthly calendar
The monthly calendar is ideal for managing schedules. The graph paper design is lightly printed to make it easier to write in your plans and take notes in an even line. The blue gray and red print both allow for high visibility when writing in the calendar.
Monthly data
Each header includes the year, underneath which is listed the Japanese era name, month (Japanese refers to months in numerical order instead of by name,) the English name of the month, followed by the traditional Japanese name of the month.
Daily boxes
Each box is lightly printed with a graph design to make it easy to fill in a full day’s worth of plans. You can also take full advantage of the graph design by drawing out sections to allocate plans or entries visually.
Week numbers
The monthly calendars include the number of the week. The formula we use begins counting with the first week in January that includes a Thursday.
Free space
The calendars include free space below and to the left for taking notes, making plans or decorating the calendars with stickers and washi tape.
Moon phases
While the daily pages feature illustrations of the moon phase of that particular day, these calendars only include new moons (●) and full moons (○).
Rokuyo (Traditional Japanese calendar)
The monthly calendar days are labeled with rokuyo, a cycle of six days said to predict good or bad fortune that day. The labels are commonly found on Japanese calendars and used to plan weddings and funerals.
Labeling 2018
The monthly pages for January through May of 2018 have the year in large numbers in the background to easily differentiate them from the 2017 pages.
