MIDORI Book Style Diary 2027 - B6 Cloth Cover Weekly Planner / MIDORI

Book Style is the hardback of MIDORI's 2027 planner range. Instead of a printed paper wrap it uses a cloth-bound cover with foil stamping, the kind of surface that shows a little texture under your hand and hides fingerprints after a year in a bag. Inside, the page sequence is the familiar monthly block followed by weekly spreads, so the reading order is the same as the smaller pocket diaries while the book itself sits somewhere between a notebook and a hardcover.

Three covers, one page block

The exterior comes in three patterns by two Japanese illustrators. Sizes are identical across all three, so the choice is purely about which book you want to look at every day.

• Dog, yellow cloth (22478006): gold foil line drawing by Natsumi Teraoka
• Dog, navy cloth (22479006): foil-outlined dogs scattered across the cover
• Cat, beige cloth (22477006): two cats in a window, drawn by Sayo Koizumi

Measurements

The book itself measures H180 x W112 x D14 mm. With the printed slip case the package measures H185 x W113 x D14 mm, which is the size that matters if you are checking whether it fits a specific pouch or drawer.

Binding and pages

Pages are sewn with thread and the block is glued into the cover in a way that lets the book open to roughly 180 degrees. That flat opening is the main reason to choose a Book Style over a slimmer softcover: the spread stays open on its own while both hands are busy, which helps when you are copying a timetable across from a screen.

What to know before you buy

• The calendar is dated for 2027 only, with no undated pages for overflow.
• Cloth covers pick up a slight sheen where a bag strap rubs them over months. This is normal wear, not a defect.
• There is no pen holder, zip pocket or elastic closure.
• The weekly block is fixed at seven days; there is no daily page for long journal entries.

Where to go next

You will find this planner with the rest of the brand in the MIDORI collection, next to other planners and daily diaries and our journaling supplies. The smaller format is the Pocket Diary 2027; if you want the same cloth feel without a dated calendar, the earlier Book Style Diary 2026 is still in the shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size is the MIDORI Book Style Diary 2027?

A: The book is B6, measuring H180 x W112 x D14 mm. With its printed slip case the package measures H185 x W113 x D14 mm. That is slightly taller than an A6 notebook but still narrow enough to carry in a tote or a large coat pocket.

Q: Does the cover come in different designs?

A: Yes, there are three: a yellow dog pattern and a navy dog pattern drawn by Natsumi Teraoka, and a beige cat pattern by Sayo Koizumi. The page block and paper are the same for all three, so the choice is only about the cover you prefer.

Q: Is the cover real leather?

A: No. It is a cloth-bound cover with foil stamping, not leather. Cloth keeps the book light and gives it a matte texture, but it can develop a slight sheen on the corners where it rubs against a bag over time.

Q: Will it open flat enough to write across both pages?

A: Yes. The pages are thread-sewn and the block opens to about 180 degrees, so a weekly spread can sit flat on a desk without you holding it. This is the practical difference between the Book Style and a glued softcover planner.

Q: Does it have monthly pages as well as weekly ones?

A: It does. The book starts with block monthly calendars for the year, then continues into weekly spreads. Monthly pages are for marking fixed dates such as trips or deadlines; weekly pages are where the day-to-day planning happens.

Q: How does it compare with the 2026 Book Style Diary?

A: The construction is the same family: cloth cover, foil stamping, sewn binding and a B6 page block. The difference is the dated year inside and the cover patterns for that season, so the two books are not interchangeable for planning 2027 in.
