Inspired by the summertime research projects in Japanese elementary schools, OURS Studio designed the Research Project Journal that comes with monthly and weekly planning pages. For each week, the planner provides a simple task or inspirational goal for you to accomplish, resembling the summer vacation assignments for elementary students in Japan.

This year's theme is gifts. Whether receiving or giving gifts, OURS hopes that despite 2025's many ups and downs, that there will also be many gifts that keep you motivated to keep going. Each page is decorated with illustrations of gifts of warm weather, coffee, sweet treats, and more to enlighten your days throughout the year. This A5-sized planner is manufactured with the Japanese HUWA HUWA paper, which is a medium-weight paper that is friendly to fountain pen and stamp inks. The exposed spine binding of this planner also allows it to lay perfectly flat on surfaces.

OURS has designed the 2025 Journal to be customizable, and comes with postcard and card sized prints that can be swapped out on the front cover's slots to decorate as your mood changes throughout the year. The package of the 2025 notebook will also come with a set of postcards/small cards (seven pieces included) and two transparent small card sleeves along with the book.

Monthly Plan

Each month is displayed on a 2-page spread and comes in a minimalist design decorated with various illustrations, photos, and collage prints. Blank spacing on the left and bottom side can be used freely for extra notes.

Weekly Plan

Each week has a vertical quadrant layout spread out across two pages and embellished with spot illustrations and cute crayon color palettes. A few lines are included for each day to add a little note.

 Free Pages (Research Notes)

38 free pages are added in a variety of formats that change from year to year. This year, OURS has integrated the concepts of gifts with a "gift log" so you can keep track of and plan gifts through the year.
