NKcalendar Mini Daily Calendar 2027 Yumi Kitagishi

The NKcalendar Mini Daily Calendar 2027 by Yumi Kitagishi is a Japanese tear-off calendar in a handy compact format – every day a new sheet, every sheet an illustration by the artist. Yumi Kitagishi's visual language is the centerpiece: warm, detailed, with the typical sense for small everyday moments that characterizes Japanese stationery illustrations. Produced by Shinnippon Calendar Co., Ltd. – one of Japan's best-known calendar publishers, which has been collaborating with illustrators for decades.

Special Features

• One sheet per day: 365 individual sheets, each with its own date and an illustration by Yumi Kitagishi – no two days look alike.
• Mini format: Compact small format that takes up minimal space on the desk yet asserts itself as a daily focal point.
• Tear-off mechanism: The sheets are perforated and tear cleanly – just enough resistance so the sheet separates evenly when torn without tearing.
• Second life for the sheets: The torn daily sheets work perfectly as date stickers in bullet journals or planners – simply attach with a bit of glue or washi tape. The compact format fits on any planner spread.
• Made in Japan: Produced by Shinnippon Calendar Co., Ltd. – Japanese print quality, vibrant colors, clean perforation.

Application & Tips

• Desk decoration: Placed on a calendar stand or small holder, the mini calendar becomes a daily greeting ritual at the workplace.
• Journaling & Scrapbooking: The torn sheets can be glued directly into a diary or notebook – as a date stamp, decorative element, or day marker.
• Planner integration: Glued into weekly or daily planners, the daily sheet anchors the entry visually – especially beautiful with Hobonichi formats where the mini format aligns with the daily column.
• Gift idea: As a year-long companion for fans of Japanese illustration or collectors of Yumi Kitagishi's work – a fitting gift with small format but big substance.
• Combination with washi tape: For those who want to use the sheets without glue, they can be fixed with narrow washi tape – keeping them repositionable and without damaging the paper underneath.
