About Begin 5:
A 12 month planner: or a love letter to the seasons, and love, and seasons of love, and love of seasons.
Inspired by the solar terms, or 節氣 (jié qì) : twenty-four ‘seasons’ in the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. Each solar term spans 15° of the ecliptic, lasting roughly 2 weeks. Some are characterised by meterological or astronomical events (winter solstice, autumnal equinox), some by weather patterns (cold dew, major heat), others by natural phenomena or agricultural seasons (awakening of the insects, grain in ear).
Each month comes with a selection of artwork and poetry inspired by the seasons, as well as a short description of each solar term.
Every month also comes with a to-do list card with a different love poem on the front. When taken all together, Begin 5 is an ode to the wonder of the seasons, and the quiet magic in watching them pass each year.
Every book is lovingly handmade to order, with five covers inspired by the major seasons. Customisable colours and start dates can also be requested :)

So you may or may not be a planner person, but I definitely am.
I have been obsessed with them ever since the fourth grade or something, spending hours scouring the stationery shop for the *perfect* one to start the new year with.
Designing and making my own planners then seemed a natural progression, and these are my dream ones: a large monthly calendar, vertical week views, space to track the books you’ve read, and most importantly — full of little details and touches to make each month and each week special: from a monthly selection of poems, to little icons and graphics scattered throughout the weeks. Every month is magical and unique.
Lovingly designed and handbound in my studio, I hope these will make lovely companions to your everyday life.
