This Midori Continuous Diary features a deep red cloth cover with gold foil details, including an open gate on the cover and a key on the lower spine. These journals, which span three to ten years depending on the specific model, are stunning, hardcover books that challenge you to think beyond the short term.

The Five Year Diary features 366 journal pages, one for each day of the year (including Feb. 29, in case it’s a leap year.) For each day, there are five short journal spacesone per year. Each time you return to a date spread, you can see what you were thinking on the same day in previous years.

It’s a journal that encourages mindful reflection and marks the passage of time. Even your handwriting may look different after five years of growth and change, and you’ll be able to see that evolution in real time. The heirloom-quality stitching is durable enough to last for the full five years of journaling, plus a lifetime of storage and reference.

Two bookmark ribbons are bound into Five Year Diary, so you can mark the current day and another day you’d like to remember. Midori’s versatile MD Paper stock is used for the pages in this book. MD Paper can be used with pencil, pen, fountain pen, and more without bleeding or feathering.
