The Original is the book the whole Hobonichi range grew out of, a page a day at A6, which is paperback size and about as much techo as fits in one hand. It has been made every year since 2002, and the page design has been adjusted continuously across those editions rather than redrawn, which is why the grid sits where it does.
This is the Sunday-start calendar, for anyone who reads a week as beginning on Sunday. It is the same book as the Monday-start otherwise, told apart on the shelf by the cover text, which is printed in red here and grey on the Monday version.
