This calendar features a full whiteboard design, so you can write anything you want, and if your plans change, you can rewrite it as many times as you like. This unique convenience and functionality has been well-received, and it has remained the top-selling calendar at Loft stores nationwide for 15 years since its release. As it's a standard size that remains almost the same throughout the year, many people start using it for the first time. The numbers for the months are original illustrations by Izumi Shiokawa. Combining cuteness and an artistic atmosphere, it's sure to add a stylish touch to any room.

The Medium size retains the convenience and fun of being able to write and erase, while being more space-saving and compact. It's the perfect size to keep next to your computer or on your desk at work, and has been steadily gaining more fans every year since its release. We recommend using the full-size planner to manage your family schedule, and the medium-size planner to manage your personal schedule, such as your child's study plan. Like the full-size planner, the monthly numbers are illustrated by Izumi Shiokawa.

This calendar features Shigesato Itoi's beloved dog, Buiko, who made a comeback in the 2020 edition. Although it's only the first year, it has already proven to be a huge hit. For the 2021 edition, we've taken the time to carefully select 15 photos of Buiko taken by Shigesato Itoi. It's a desktop type that you can place on your desk or in your entryway and quickly write down your schedule, but it's also large and has plenty of writing space. It's also much easier to see from a distance.
