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	21 × 12.5 × 0.6 mm	Copper	8
Bookmarker Embroidery	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. For a clip that holds a postcard or memo on a desk instead, see Dulton’s Memonger 2.

Where is it made?

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