368 illustrators have worked together to produce a new calendar that features a different illustration for every day of the year! The Himekuri 365 2021 calendar features 365 pieces of artwork created by artists from Japan, China, Tawian, South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia.
Each day in the year features a new illustration featuring a girl in a appropriate scenario for the day! While this often means that the artwork is based on the season or month, some of the art is specifically tied to the day or week, such as April 9th which is during the Spring Traffic Safety Campaign and features a traffic safety officer.
In addition to the A6 sized calendar, two A4 sized art books are being released printing the illustrations on higher quality paper.
