Each month has a large illustration, so it looks more like a picture than a planner. The base carries an engraved version of the design's illustration. The date numbers and month numbers are drawn by hand, which gives the pages a calm feel. For a cheaper ring-bound desk calendar, see our [Midori Desk Ring Calendar 2027](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/midori-desk-ring-calendar-2027/). ## How big is it? **In use it is 137 mm tall, 84 mm wide and 39 mm deep.** Midori gives the box as 174 × 86 × 19 mm and the weight as 103 g in the box, 78 g for the calendar itself. | | Stand Calendar | |---|---| | In use | 137 mm tall × 84 mm wide × 39 mm deep (5.4 × 3.3 × 1.5 in) | | Box | 174 × 86 × 19 mm | | Weight | 103 g in the box, 78 g without | | Sheets | 12, January to December 2027 | It is slim enough for a small desk corner, so it suits a place where a full-size desk calendar won't fit. ## How does it stand? **It leans back on the wooden base, and it needs all 12 sheets to stay balanced.** Midori's store says to use it with the 12 sheets together until the year ends, rather than removing past months, so that it stands in balance. That is a design note to know before you tear anything off. ![A schematic side view of a card leaning back on a wooden base 39 millimetres deep](https://stationerytimes.com/images/midori-stand-calendar-2027-side.svg?v=37669c35) *The 39 mm base depth is Midori's figure; the profile is drawn by eye. Original illustration made for this guide. © Stationery Times.* ## What do the pages look like? **One large illustration per month, with a simple date grid.** Midori says the year's theme runs through the pages, so the dog design follows a year with dogs through the seasons and shows the seasonal colors. The cat design has its own theme. We haven't seen the date grid up close, and Midori's page doesn't say how much room each day has, so don't count on writing much in it. ## How does it compare with a diary or wall calendar? **It shows the month, not your schedule.** A stand calendar sits in view all day, which is its main advantage over a diary kept in a bag. Midori's own desk calendars range from plain to decorative, and this is the decorative end. If you need to write down appointments, our [Midori Flat Diary 2027](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/midori-flat-diary-2027/) is a monthly diary with a stiff cover, and a wall calendar gives a whole month's boxes more space. Midori's store lists no weight for the paper, so we make no claim about pens. ## Is it a good gift? **Midori sells it in a box package that it says suits gifts.** The engraved wooden base and the large pictures make it more of a decoration than a planner. If the person you are buying for needs to write schedules in a calendar, a ring-bound calendar or a diary gives more room. See our [best 2027 desk calendars](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-2027-desk-calendars/) roundup for options. ## Where is it made, and what does it cost? **Midori's store lists Japan as the country of origin.** The calendar costs 1,430 yen (about US$9.05) with tax at 158 yen to the dollar, which puts it in our $$ band ($5–20). ## Frequently asked questions ### What kind of calendar is the Stand Calendar?
