What are Kamio picture book stickers?
They are single sticker sheets from Kamio Japan, illustrated like a page from a nature field guide, with captions and gold-foil accents. US shops sell them as Adult Illustrated Picture Book Stickers, one sheet per pack.
In Japan, Kamio sells them as 大人の図鑑シール (Otona no Zukan, “adult’s picture book” stickers). The “adult” in the name refers to the grown-up, encyclopedia style, not the content.
A September 2026 Kodansha press release, announcing a sticker book drawn from the series, says the first Otona no Zukan stickers appeared in 2017 and that the series now runs to more than 100 designs, far more than US shops stock. Yodobashi’s listing describes it as a series that turns niche subjects into field-guide pages, meant to be collected and read as well as stuck down. Little Craft Place describes the sheets as illustrations with commentary on a textured special paper with gold-leaf accents.

Yodobashi, the Japanese electronics and stationery chain, gives the fullest spec we could read, for the Cocktail (カクテル) sheet, item 226304: a 175 × 90 × 1 mm sticker sheet in a 205 × 95 × 1 mm package, about 8 g, special paper plus gold foil, and a list price of ¥330 (about US$2.10) including tax; it went on sale on May 31, 2025. US shops quote the package size: Yoseka Stationery gives H205 × W95 × D1 mm for the Zoo sheet and Little Craft Place 8 × 3.75 in for Warm Sea Creatures. None lists a sticker count, so we’ll count a sheet before adding one.
Kamio Japan’s own product pages carry the same kind of spec, but they now sit behind a bot check we could not pass, so this guide relies on Yodobashi for the Japanese figures. Yodobashi also sells a Premium (PM) line of the series, such as Reading (読書) and Cheese (チーズ), at ¥330 (about US$2.10) each.
How do you use picture book stickers?
Cut or peel each specimen with its caption and use it like a small museum label in a journal, a travel log or a letter. The long, narrow sheet also works whole as a decorative strip on the side of a page.
The captions make them good companions for nature journaling and collecting pages: a goldfish next to notes from a festival, or zoo animals beside a ticket stub. Pair them with washi tape to frame a spread.
Which picture book design should you choose?
Pick by subject: each sheet is one theme, so choose the one that matches what you journal about.
| Design | Sold by | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Zoo | Yoseka Stationery (marked discontinued) | Zoo visits and children’s letters |
| Warm Sea Creatures | Little Craft Place | Beach trips and diving logs |
| Minerals | Yoseka Stationery (marked discontinued) | Museum and rock-collecting pages |
| Stationery | Yoseka Stationery (marked discontinued) | Stationery and planner pages |
| Cocktail (カクテル) | Yodobashi (Japan) | Bar and party pages |
US shops stock only a few designs at a time, and stock changes; Yoseka marks many of its listings as discontinued. If a sheet sells out, Kamio’s other gold-foil sheets, such as Japanese Food, use a similar long format.
How do they compare with other Kamio stickers?
The picture book sheet is Kamio’s long field-guide format; its flake packs are loose, die-cut pieces in a bag. The Japanese Food sheet, which Yoseka lists at 175 × 90 mm, is the same sheet size Yodobashi gives for the picture book stickers.
| Kamio sticker | Format | Size | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Picture Book | 1 sheet, gold foil | 90 × 175 mm sheet (95 × 205 mm pack) | Not stated |
| Japanese Food | 1 sheet, washi with gold foil | 90 × 175 mm | Not stated |
| Flake Stickers, Kyoto | Loose flakes, washi, gold foil | About 45 mm and 25 mm | 30 |
| Color Tracing Flake Stickers | Translucent circles | About 45 mm across | 35 (7 shades) |
How do they compare with other Japanese journal stickers?
They are more illustrative than Mind Wave flakes and more decorative than Midori’s functional Yuru Log stickers.
| Sticker | Format | Material | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kamio Picture Book | 1 long sheet | Textured paper, gold foil | Not stated |
| Mind Wave Washi Flowers | Loose flakes in a bag | Washi, gold foil | 40 |
| Midori Yuru Log | Sheets | Washi | Varies by theme |
Choose Kamio if you want a single, illustrated theme with captions. Choose flake packs if you want ready-cut pieces with no sheet to trim around.
Who is Kamio Japan?
Kamio Japan is a Japanese stationery brand founded in 1987, which began as a retail shop called Fancy Variety Shop before making its own products, according to Yoseka Stationery. Yoseka adds that the name joins kami (paper) and o (king). The Otona no Zukan series has since grown beyond stickers into stationery and goods, per Kodansha’s 2026 press release.
Where are Kamio picture book stickers made?
Neither Yodobashi’s full Japanese spec nor the US retailer listings we read state where the sheets are made. Kamio Japan is based in Japan, but we haven’t confirmed the printing country; we’ll add it once we’ve checked the packaging.
