OURS Research Project Journal 2026: The Fortune

Inspired by the Japanese concept of 自由研究 (jiyu kenkyu), a “free research project” assigned to elementary school students during summer vacation. This journal reimagines that spirit of curiosity as a year-long creative study.

Think of it as your personal one-year project: an exploration of life, luck, and the little fortunes that unfold along the way.

Celebrate the hope and luck woven into everyday life with OURS Studio’s “The Fortune” journal. Thoughtfully designed, it serves as a gentle reminder to notice small blessings and savour quiet moments throughout the year.

Monthly Highlights with Illustrations

Note

During pre-shipment inspection, it was found that the paper used in this edition may show slight ink bleed-through when written on with fountain pens or thick-tipped markers/sign pens. However, gel pens, fine liners, and stamping inks perform beautifully with no issue.
