HobonichiHobonichi Whiteboard Calendar 2027 - Medium Size

2027 New

The compact Medium size delivers the same satisfying experience of writing and erasing on a whiteboard, while taking up less space. It’s just the right size to sit beside your computer or on your office desk, and it has been steadily building a loyal following since its launch. We recommend using it alongside the Full Size — for example, you can manage family schedules on the Full Size while keeping your study schedule or other personal plans on the Medium.

Just like the Full Size, the monthly numbers were created by ceramic artist Yuko Suga. They’re chic and modern, yet exude an earthy warmth, and you’ll find yourself smiling at the humorous expressions and endearing charm within each piece. Once you’ve seen them, you won’t forget them — these works carry a world entirely Suga’s own, embodied by the numbers for each month. Every time you turn the page, a small, precious work awaits. It’s a whiteboard calendar that brings a touch of luxury to your room.

As a bonus item exclusively for purchases from the Hobonichi Online Store and Tobichi, you’ll receive a special Memo Pit modeled after one of Yuko Suga’s works. (The bonus item is available while supplies last.)

Here’s what the Hobonichi Whiteboard Calendar 2027 - Medium Size is all about.

Write, erase, and write again.

The surface is a whiteboard, so you can write and erase as many times as you like. Its compact size makes it a great fit for your desk or a small living space.

Plenty of room for plans and notes.

With generous blank space throughout, you can fill it with not just your schedule but also messages for family members, shopping lists, and much more.

Monthly numbers by Yuko Suga.

Each year, we ask a leading creative to design the monthly numbers. For the 2027 edition, they were created by ceramic artist Yuko Suga. Chic and modern, yet somehow playful — this is a calendar where a small, lovable work of art comes into your room with every page you turn.

A dedicated marker that’s easy to write with and easy to erase.

A whiteboard marker with an eraser is included. The ink writes in clear, sharp black and wipes away cleanly whenever you need it to. For storage, keeping the marker horizontal helps prevent the ink from drying out.

A handy tool bar included.

This metal bar is the perfect home for your marker, and since it’s magnetic, you can use it in all sorts of ways — like holding slips of paper in place with a magnet.

The purchase bonus from the Hobonichi Online Store and Tobichi is a handy Memo Pit.

The Memo Pit lets you stick and re-stick small pieces of paper as many times as you like, and it has been popular for its convenience. It’s a practical little item that makes your calendar even more enjoyable to use.

Please Read Before You Buy

We’ve compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Additionally, the color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.

As with standard whiteboards, surface may become dirty over time.: After continuously erasing and rewriting entries in the calendar, the whiteboard surface may darken over time. Use a wet wipe, a dampened tissue, or a cloth to clean the surface.

Writing may smudge or erase: Because this calendar is designed to be used with dry erase markers, accidentally rubbing your hand on an entry can smudge or wipe away the writing. Previous writing may also blur if left to remain on a month’s page while moving on to future months.
We recommend using a standard oil-based marker when writing important and certain dates you don’t want to erase, such as birthdays and anniversaries.

Not for use with water-based ink: Using markers with water-based ink, such as wet erase markers, will cause the ink to take a very long time to dry. Once the ink dries, it will be difficult to erase. Avoid using these types of markers.

Do not store in high temperatures: The whiteboard paper in this calendar is weak to heat. Avoid storing it in bathrooms or other rooms prone to becoming warm.
We have also confirmed that the marker pen can be affected by high temperature and humidity, and in rare cases, the ink may become permanent if left in such conditions for several days after writing. We appreciate your understanding and hope you can use the product with this in mind.

Storing the included whiteboard marker: Do not store the marker straight up or down, as it causes the ink to collect and stop coming out. We recommend storing the marker horizontally flat. In addition, ink may be difficult to dispense at first depending on the positioning of the products in the packaged set. If ink starts out difficult to dispense, leave the marker down flat in a horizontal position for a while before trying again.

About the magnet included with whiteboard marker: If the bottom of the pen starts to drop downward after placing the pen horizontally against the magnet, tightly squeeze the magnet on the pen cap with your finger. These adhesive magnet strips have been applied to the pen caps by hand, so they may not be exactly even. Squeezing the magnet back against the pen cap helps flatten the magnet strip and strengthen the magnetic pull.

About the metal bar included with calendar: The adhesive metal bar included with the Full Size and Medium Size calendars can be applied wherever you like such as atop the calendar. The metal bar is intended to provide a spot for you to store your dry erase marker by the magnet on the pen cap. You can also use your own magnet to store receipts and notes on this spot.

*Items stored here by a magnet have the possibility of getting lost, so we do not recommend storing especially important receipts or tickets.
*Metal bar is made of tin. Tightly squeezing the bar and its edges or rubbing the edges against your hands may result in injury. Please handle with care.
Keep out of reach of children.
