HIDARI Left-Handed Planner 2026
HIDARI Originals
Tools we couldn't find anywhere else, so we made them ourselves. Most of them started from a single complaint — "why doesn't this exist for left-handers?" — and grew from there.
The Left-Handed Planner
A weekly planner designed from scratch for left-handed users. The binding is on the right side, so your writing hand never rests on the spine.
The Left-Handed Planner & More
The planner itself, plus a few things to go with it — a hardcover, a book band, and other ways to make it yours.
Other tools we've made
A few more things we've designed in-house — for the kitchen, the desk, and everywhere in between.

Made in Seki
Just over the hill from us, the city of Seki has been making blades for over 800 years. Most of our knives, kitchen scissors, and bread knives come from makers there — Suncraft, Mitsuboshi Cutlery, and others we've worked with for years.
