What are Hobonichi Frame Stickers for Dates?

They are a pack of small frame stickers, printed on see-through paper, for writing dates on undated pages. Hobonichi made them for the Day-Free, where you write dates in yourself: you stick a frame on a memo or graph page and fill in the day.

Hobonichi lists the material as tracing paper (トレーシングペーパー), slightly see-through, so the grid shows through and you can write on top. Its Japanese page says the pack mixes 25 frames in different colors and designs, such as stripes, polka dots and ribbons, with a space under the date for the weekday, the weather or an anniversary.

Size, weight, material and price come from Hobonichi’s Japanese store page (ほぼ日の日付用フレームシール), which doesn’t give a sheet or sticker count; The Journal Shop gives the same 100 × 148 × 1 mm and the 5-sheet, 100-sticker count. No one publishes the size of a single frame, so we’ll measure one before adding it.

Drawn to scale: a 100 by 148 mm sheet of Frame Stickers for Dates with 20 frames, a sheet of the original Frame Stickers listed at 148 by 100 mm with 4 sheets and 81 frames, and a 105 by 148 mm A6 page with a 3.7 mm grid — Both frame packs use sheets about the size of an A6 page; the frame layouts are representative.

How many frames come in a pack?

One pack holds 100 frames on 5 sheets, or 20 per sheet, according to The Journal Shop and Hunter Paper Co. Hobonichi itself says only that there are 25 frame designs.

The original Frame Stickers pack has 4 sheets and 81 stickers, per The Journal Shop, so check the product title when you order.

At one frame a day, a pack covers about 100 days, or roughly a third of a year. If you date only the days you write, it lasts longer.

How do Frame Stickers compare with Frame Stickers for Dates?

They are two different packs: one sized for the monthly calendar, one for writing dates on free pages.

Pack	Made for	Sheets	Stickers	2027 price
Frame Stickers	A6 Techo Original monthly calendar	4	81	¥550 (about US$3.50)
Frame Stickers for Dates	Day-Free memo and graph pages	5	100	¥660 (about US$4.20)

Hobonichi says the original Frame Stickers fit the monthly calendar of the A6 Hobonichi Techo Original, with purpose frames for birthdays, trips, deadlines and meals, plus a few larger stickers for the daily pages. That pack has been around a while: Hobonichi’s 2017 lineup lists it at ¥432 (about US$2.70).

How do you use frame stickers in a Day-Free or Techo?

Stick a frame where an entry starts and write the date inside; the see-through paper keeps the grid visible. In a Day-Free, that turns a run of undated pages into a dated journal you can scan by eye.

They also work as headings for lists, trips or reading notes. Pair them with Hobonichi’s Transparent Dot Stickers as bullets, or use Midori’s Yuru Log stickers for small pictures beside the date. For ready-made EVENT and IMPORTANT frames, words and icons, Hobonichi’s TSUKI no IRO Sticker Set packs 262 stickers on 5 sheets.

Which pens work on Hobonichi frame stickers?

Hobonichi says you can write on top of the stickers, and its page for the original Frame Stickers names pencils and pens. We haven’t timed drying yet, so give gel ink a few seconds before you close the book.

Tracing-type paper is smoother and less absorbent than notebook paper, so fine tips and pencils are a safe start. We’ll add pen-by-pen results after our test.

Are they worth buying?

They are worth it if you keep an undated notebook and want dates to stand out. At ¥660 (about US$4.20) in Japan, the pack is cheap; US prices sit in our $$ band because of import and shipping.

If you only use a dated Techo, the original Frame Stickers for the monthly calendar or plain dot stickers may suit you better. For dates without stickers, the Midori Paintable Rotating Date Stamp prints the month and day with an icon you can color in.

Where are Hobonichi Frame Stickers for Dates made?

Milligram lists them as designed and made in Japan. Hobonichi Co., Ltd. is based in Tokyo; its Japanese and English product pages don’t state a country of manufacture.
