What store would sell ’23 large desk calendars e.g. for teachers? Loft, Daiso, Seria, AMAZON no luck

My wife started her new school year and in the US always buys a large desktop calendar she can write her schedule in. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/AT-GLANCE-2023-2024-Academic-Calendar/dp/B0BM4XWKXC

These large calendars generally seem to exist in Japan because they have them at Seria, BUT ONLY 2024 calendars. She needs a calendar for 2023. In the US they make many that start in September for the new school year but that may be asking to much.

I’m sure these must exist on Amazon but the ones I’ve found are too small, or too expensive, plus we don’t have a good place to ship a big item yet (Amazon lockers won’t work).

I’m sure here in Tokyo there must be a million stores that sell this sort of thing, I’m looking for a recommendation for a chain or specific store that I might try!

Thank you for your suggestions!

  1. Academic and fiscal year calendars here run April-March so I don’t think there are many if any calendars that run September-August.

    These are meant for being on a wall though, not what you’re thinking of. I have seen a lot of the people use two kinds of calendars for this:

    – Something like a hobonichi techo. Includes daily pages and a weekly page. A weekly planner in particular is probably very good for this use case

    – One of those smaller stand-up calendars.

    In any case Amazon seems to sell a lot of 2023 calendars starting in April.

  3. I don’t know if these are big enough.

  6. Yodobashi Camera has some set for the Japanese academic year (April to March) and, as of yesterday, still had some for 2023-2024.
