The whiteboard calendar has been a perennial favorite at Hobonichi since 2006. With its full whiteboard surface, you can write as much as you like and wipe it all away with ease. Whether a plan has moved to a different day, a tentative appointment isn’t quite confirmed yet, or you just want to leave a quick note or a message for the family, you can write it down with the included whiteboard marker, wipe it squeaky clean, and start fresh.



Digital calendars on your phone or computer are convenient, of course, but you have to actively remember to look at them. An analog calendar is different — it catches your eye as you pass by, and your schedule registers in an instant. That’s something digital simply can’t offer. The calendar comes in two sizes: the Full Size and the Desktop.



The Full Size is a large wall-hanging calendar. Its clean, understated design blends naturally into any interior. The Desktop includes, in addition to the calendar itself, a write-and-erase message board and a file pocket for storing slips of paper and other small items.



The 2027 edition takes its design cues from the captivating rides and characters of MOTHER2 (EarthBound in North America) — Ness’s bicycle, the Sky Runner that soars through the air, the tour bus you ride with the band, and even the monster that occasionally gives you a lift. A different ride appears each time you turn the page, and we hope each one rekindles a warm memory of the game as you enjoy the year ahead.
