I've seen them, & occasionally somebody gives me one. My objections:
They have lovely pictures of masterpiece bonsai, but the description is in
Japanese, & I don't even know what kind of a tree it is.
They use the European system of Sunday as the last day of the week.
I like to use a calendar for quick reference, without trying to figure out
which month & day I am looking at.
Bonsai pictures are nice, but if I hang a calendar on the wall, I want to be
able to use it as a calendar.

Most do NOT print Sunday as the last day of the week. Most are in
the standard Sunday through Saturday format, eg the Takagi-NBF
calendar, Yamaguchi Bonsai Nursery calendar, etc.

If interested, try looking for bonsai calendars which have been printed for
US sellers. They are relatively inexpensive and use calendar conventions
familiar enough to use as a quick reference. Some even list the days of the
week in English. Billy mentioned bonsaimonk.com, but I've seen similar ones
offered by IBS and others.
Holidays are usually in Japanese, as are the brief descriptions of the
trees. The characters for different species are recognizable with a little
practice. I recommend it, it makes these lovely calendars even more
enjoyable!

I agree. The wall calendar I get from BonsaiToday.com every
year has a July pic of a whimsical windswept grove of what
look to be white pines, and an even-more-whimsical,
stork-like pine of (I think) the same species. Sunday is
where it belongs, and the month and days of the week are in
English.
Couldn't do without mine -- and I too will miss the Takagai
desk calendar - postcards.
