Midori 10 Year Diary
Last updated: 11 October 2026
The Midori 10 Year Diary is a single book that holds ten years of entries. Each date has its own page, so you write a few lines for that day every year and read back over the years before.
Midori calls it the 10-Year Diary Gate. The navy version costs £59.99 at The Journal Shop, with free UK delivery. I checked the price and stock on 11 October 2026.
How the Midori 10 Year Diary works
Every page is one date, such as 14 March, and it is split into ten spaces, one per year. So on 14 March each year you write in the next space. After a few years, you can see what happened on the same day before.
In Midori's words, "each date has its own page, containing every year so that you can look back on what you did in past years". Each month also opens with its own seasonal design, which Midori calls a gate.
Specifications
| Pages | 732, plus 13 pages of appendix |
|---|---|
| Paper | MD Paper, cream, 6mm ruled |
| Binding | Thread bound, with two ribbon bookmarks |
| Cover | Navy cloth with gold foil |
| Size | 18.5 x 12.8cm, 4.3cm thick |
| Comes in | A storage sleeve |
At 4.3cm thick, it is far deeper than a normal notebook. So it lives on a shelf or desk rather than in a bag.
Who Midori is
Midori started in 1950 making letter paper. In the early 1960s it created its first multi-year diary, and its MD Paper has been made for writing since the 1960s too. Today Midori is a brand of Designphil, as Midori's history page sets out.
Who it suits
It suits someone who wants to keep a diary but never fills a page a day. Because each date only needs a few lines, it is a small daily habit rather than a big one.
It also works as a present for a new year, a new baby or a new home, since the first entry starts a ten-year record.
The limits
Ten years is a long commitment. If they miss a few weeks, the gaps stay visible, which can put some people off.
Also, each space is only a few lines. So it suits short notes, not long entries.
Delivery and returns
The Journal Shop delivers free by Royal Mail on orders over £40, so the diary ships free. Next day costs £7.99 if you order before midday.
After delivery, you have 14 days to cancel, as long as it is unused and in its packaging.
