## What is the Midori Clip Bookmarker?

**It is a very thin stainless steel clip that marks a page without adding bulk.** MIDORI says the 0.15 mm metal does not get in the way of turning pages or writing, and that the clip end slips on lightly but holds firmly.

The designs are etched, which Midori compares to stained glass, and part of each design is cut out so it can be used as a template for drawing small icons in a planner. Yoseka describes it as a very thin bookmark that adds very little burden to the pages.

## Midori Clip Bookmarker specs

| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Brand | Midori (Japan) |
| Body size | 41 mm tall × 13 mm wide × 0.8 mm deep (1.6 × 0.5 × 0.03 in) |
| Metal thickness | 0.15 mm (Midori's claim) |
| Material | Stainless steel |
| Pack | 4 clips, one of each of 4 designs |
| Package | 98 × 75 × 1.1 mm |
| Made in | China (MIDORI's store) |
| Japan price with tax | ¥814 (about US$5.20); Living ¥726 (about US$4.60) |

Midori lists 0.8 mm as the body depth next to the 0.15 mm metal. We read the difference as the folded clip, but Midori doesn't explain it, and we haven't measured one.

## What are the four themes?

**Midori sells four themes, each a pack of four designs.** The cut-outs are the icons you can trace.

| Theme | Store code | Icons you can trace | Price with tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat and Moon | 43404 | Crescent, half, evening and full moon | ¥814 (about US$5.20) |
| Weather | 43405 | Sun, rain, cloud, snow | ¥814 (about US$5.20) |
| Flower | 43406 | Cherry blossom, sunflower, maple leaf, snowflake | ¥814 (about US$5.20) |
| Living | 43407 | Cup, book, fork and spoon, bag | ¥726 (about US$4.60) |

The first three pages carried a notice of a price revision starting November 1, 2026; the Living page didn't, so its price may be the older one.

## How does the template work?

**You hold the clip on the page and trace the cut-out shape with a fine pen.** Midori says to use a pen tip of 0.5 mm or finer, so a 0.38 mm gel pen suits it better than a 0.7 mm.

Midori lists the Cat and Moon icons as a crescent, half, evening and full moon, which are moon phases.

## How much does it cost?

**Midori's store listed ¥814 (about US$5.20) for three themes and ¥726 (about US$4.60) for Living on November 2, 2026.** Yoseka sold the pack at US$6.50 the same day, which falls in our $$ band ($5–20).


## How is it different from other Midori page clips?

**It is a larger, decorative steel clip with templates; the others are smaller or are ribbons.** The figures come from Midori's pages.

| Clip | Size | Material | Pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clip Bookmarker | 41 × 13 mm | Stainless steel | 4 |
| [Chiratto Index Clip](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/midori-chiratto-index-clip/) | 21 × 12.5 × 0.6 mm | Copper | 8 |
| [Bookmarker Embroidery](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/midori-embroidery-bookmarker/) | About 305–308 mm with ribbon | Fibre-paper clip, rayon and polyester ribbon | 1 |

## Who is the Midori Clip Bookmarker for?

**It is for planner and journal users who want a flat page marker that doubles as a stencil.** Midori designed the 0.15 mm metal so it doesn't get in the way of turning pages or writing.

Skip it if you want a ribbon bookmark: see the [Bookmarker Embroidery](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/midori-embroidery-bookmarker/). For a clip that holds a postcard or memo on a desk instead, see Dulton's [Memonger 2](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/dulton-memonger-2-clip-hanger/).

## Where is it made?

**China, per MIDORI's own store pages.** Each theme's page lists the origin as MADE IN CHINA.
