DESIGNPHIL Midori 12396006 Diary, 5 Year Consecutive Door, Black

My wife has been maintaining a five year diary for forty years. The style she was using is no longer available for purchase so I found these instead. They arrived promptly, well packaged, and intact. They appear to be of good quality which is important in something that will be used daily for five years. My wife is please.

I saw it on an instagram reel and decided to get it for my girlfriend for Christmas and she loves it and it feels super high quality

I've been writing in this for a year now and the Midori paper is just as good as I thought/hoped. I bought this to encourage myself to use my fountain pen inks and every single ink I've used has both looked amazing and not bled through this paper. It's smooth and it shows sheen beautifully. For the journal itself, the binding is nice and the size is good. I'm not going to need another one as far as I can tell for 4 years + 1 month, but at that point would definitely repurchase.

We have kept diaries for the 50 years of our marriage. They are wonderful to look back and recall events or find important dates. We could no longer find a source for the X & O Paper Goods Diaries like we had used for years. This Midori diary is smaller and therefore provides less room to write. And will look different on the shelf.. And it doesn't have end papers for writing notes like birthday dates, etc. So we glued in a few extra pages for that. Having a slipcase for our diary is something new, and it will help protect this volume better than before. Useful given that the binding on this new diary is not as rugged as for prior purchases.

A nice sized line-a-day diary with more space to write than my previous. Design is classy and looks nice on a bedside table.

Just the right size to write the days' most memorable thoughts and just the right size to fit in your hand and slip into the bookcase. Nice sturdy cover.

So glad I decided on buying this as I considered lots of options for a 5 year journal. From pictures it looked like it might have extra text on the cover but it does not. Very simple, minimalist and I love the red with gold embossing. The journal has a page for the start of the year prologue. Each month is marked by a page with a different drawing of a door, and a different edge drawing that allows you to find each month easily. I am able to write a couple sentences per day with the 5 lines available. At the end of April, June and September there is an extra empty lined page to give a bit more room to capture thoughts and so the monthly starting page is always on the right. Perfect placement for extra thoughts around the change of seasons, at mid year and 3rd quarter. There is a yearly epilogue page at the end as well. I use pencil for my journal, not sure on bleed through with ink.
