Midori Habit Tracker Cat Soft Color Brown Pre-Inked Stamp
The Midori Habit Tracker Cat Soft Color Brown Pre-Inked Stamp transforms habit tracking into a simple, enjoyable, and visual experience. Its thoughtfully designed monthly tracker combines a practical calendar with charming cat illustrations, making it easy to build positive routines while adding personality to your planner or journal. Simply write the habit you want to develop and colour each completed day to create a clear visual record of your progress. Ideal for planners, bullet journals, study notebooks, diaries, and anyone who enjoys combining organisation with Japanese stationery.
Concept and Design
This model belongs to Midori's Soft Color collection of pre-inked decorative stamps. Unlike traditional black stamps, it uses a soft brown pigment specially developed to blend naturally with fountain pen inks, ballpoint pens, markers, washi tape, and other stationery supplies. The result is a subtle impression that enhances your pages without overwhelming the overall design.
The Habit Tracker Cat layout allows you to write the habit you wish to build at the top and colour each completed day throughout the month. Whether you want to keep track of reading, exercise, language learning, meditation, daily writing, or any other personal goal, the design makes it easy to monitor your consistency while the playful cat illustrations add warmth and character to every page.
Functionality and Use
As a pre-inked stamp, it is ready to use straight out of the box and requires no separate ink pad. Simply remove the cap and press firmly onto a flat surface to create a crisp, even impression. Its square body distributes pressure evenly, making it comfortable to use on planners, notebooks, and journals.
The oil-based pigment ink produces sharp outlines that can be coloured afterwards with water-based markers without smudging. This allows you to personalise each monthly tracker while maintaining clean, well-defined lines. At Inktraveler, we have found that the stamp performs particularly well on high-quality Japanese papers, where the impression remains especially crisp and refined.
Each stamp provides approximately 1,000 impressions before requiring a refill. Once the ink begins to fade, it can easily be replenished using the official Midori Brown Refill Ink, sold separately. Like the rest of the collection, the stamp is stackable, allowing several designs to be stored neatly while taking up very little desk space.
Its dimensions are also perfectly suited for 70 mm square notes, while remaining equally practical for planners, notebooks, journals, greeting cards, study notes, and creative paper projects.
You can see how the collection works in this official Midori YouTube video.
For even more creative layouts, you can combine this model with other stamps from the Midori Soft Color collection.

Precautions for Use
Always use the stamp on a flat surface to obtain an even impression. As it contains oil-based pigment ink, avoid contact with clothing and delicate fabrics. Drying time may vary depending on the paper used. Do not rub the stamp surface with sharp objects, and avoid exposing the stamp to excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children under six years of age.
Midori History and Philosophy
Since 1950, Midori has been creating stationery that combines thoughtful design with everyday functionality. The Japanese brand believes that writing, planning, and organising should be enjoyable experiences, designing tools that make everyday routines more inspiring and rewarding.
The Soft Color pre-inked stamp collection perfectly reflects this philosophy. Each design is created to solve a practical need—tracking habits, organising ideas, decorating journals, or preserving memories—while maintaining the refined aesthetic that characterises Japanese stationery. The result is a collection of tools that encourage people to enjoy using their notebooks every single day.
"Small daily habits often become life's greatest achievements."
