The Timeless Beauty-themed desktop calendar arrives November 23, with a launch-day handover event at Roppongi Tsutaya Books.
For her first calendar in two years, actress Fumino Kimura has returned to the photographer behind her first photobook, Fumino. Kouki Nishida photographs Fumino Kimura Calendar 2027, which Wani Books will release on November 23, 2026.
The theme is Timeless Beauty. Wani Books describes a collection moving between relaxed expressions and more composed portraits, with the photographs emphasizing both continuity and the changes that come with age.

The calendar’s cover keeps the composition simple: Kimura looks toward the camera in a pale sleeveless top, with white lettering set against the light background.
Two accompanying photographs offer wider views. In one, she stands beside a bright window in a pale patterned kimono and blue obi, her hands resting together. The other places her on stone steps in a blue dress and pale cardigan, framed by greenery and dark diamond-paned doors. These are photographs from the calendar, separate from its cover artwork.
In her supplied comment, Kimura says reuniting with Nishida felt particularly meaningful at this personal milestone. She also explains that the project began with a wish to create an opportunity to meet fans directly once a year.
Kimura’s first calendar-release event is scheduled for 1 p.m. JST on November 23 at Roppongi Tsutaya Books, in the second-floor SHARE LOUNGE event space.
Applications are scheduled to open at 6 p.m. JST on October 19, with a deadline of 11:59 p.m. JST on November 15. Places are first-come, first-served and may fill before the deadline. See the bookstore’s event page for participation instructions.
Kimura’s official announcement distinguishes the unsigned event calendar from separate mail-order offers: an unsigned general-sale copy and a handwritten-signed copy limited to one per paid fanclub member. Mail-order purchases do not include event admission.
