Murakami 2020 Diary Hardcover – 8 Aug. 2019

This diary was a bargain at half price. The paper quality is great and the lavish illustrations are really funky and diverse. You definitely don’t need to be a Murakami fan to buy this diary, as it would appeal to anyone who likes modern art and the size is perfect for use as a desk or appointment diary. The only issue I have found with it is probably a cultural one, in that the week isn’t laid out in the same format as are Western diaries (see photo). Also the individual days aren’t labelled Monday to Sunday either, which has caused considerable confusion in our house and led to quite a few appointments being put in on the wrong days until we got used to it. Overall very pleased with purchase, though.

I saw this and figured it would help incentivise me to actually use my diary to organise my work alongside . Pretty hard to convince myself it's anything other than another chore but this makes it an active pleasure.Filled with quotes, pictures and little snippets about Murakami and Japanese culture more broadly, couldn't recommend it high enough

There's too many pictures in this, which makes it heavy. Also, there is barely any space for notes.

I love the diary but the days of the week are not in the date spaces

Lovely diary with illustrations for all Murakami fans. I bought it is a gift but want one myself now!

This was a present for a big murakami fan and she is loving it so far!

This is so beautifully put together. A must for any Murakami fan

Very nicely presented
