A diary that holds five years in one book, in A5, about half the size of a sheet of printer paper. Write a few lines on today’s date, and next year you write on the same page, just below what you wrote this year.

The left page carries the same date for 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030 and 2031, a band each, with 352 grid squares per day to fill. The right page stays blank for anything that needs more room.

Why people love it
• 752 pages of Tomoe River paper, thin and smooth, in a book only 25 mm thick
• Thread stitched, so it opens flat at 180 degrees and stays there while you write
• A 3.7 mm grid printed in light charcoal on cream paper, guiding your writing without taking over the page
• The brown hard cover is stamped in gold and made to be used bare, with a dark brown ribbon to keep your place

The printing is Japanese and the writing space is a plain grid.
