What is the Midori hibino Diary?
It is a small diary that gives every day two pages. Midori, the Japanese stationery maker, calls it a one-day, two-page diary and says its biggest feature is that the left and right pages can hold different things. You might plan on the left and keep a journal on the right, or sketch what impressed you that day.
Because the paper is thin, the 768-page A6 is not unwieldy: Midori describes the volume as hardly felt. For a daily diary on cream paper, see our Midori MD Diary 2027.
What is on the left and right pages?
The left page carries time and weather, the right page carries dots. Midori says the left page has a 24-hour axis, weather icons and moon phase, while the right page has dot guides that help you split it evenly. Both sit on a 2.5 mm grid that suits illustrations and diagrams.
Daily pages run all of 2027, with a month block and a future log at the front. Midori lists a yearly calendar, a 14-month monthly block from December 2026 to January 2028 and a 12-month future log for each month’s plans and goals. The daily pages cover January 1 to December 31, 2027. There are 4 memo pages and two bookmark ribbons.
How do you use two pages a day?
However you like; Midori’s store gives three examples. One is to sketch what left an impression that day, another is to manage work and private life in the same book, and a third is to decorate the pages with stickers. The left page’s time axis suits a schedule or a log, and the right page’s dots help you split it into equal blocks, such as a to-do half and a journal half.
The future log at the front gives each of the 12 months a place for plans and goals, and the monthly block shows each month at a glance. Together they let you plan ahead at the front and record in detail through the year. We haven’t used the book, so we can’t say how the thin paper handles fountain pens.
How big and heavy is it?
The body is 152 × 115 × 27 mm and weighs 334 g. It is A6 in footprint, but at 27 mm it is deep because of the 768 pages. Midori says the thread-sewn binding opens well and makes writing easier. See our paper sizes guide for A6.
