MD PAPER PRODUCTS are transitioning to MD PRODUCT, a brand independent from Midori. During this transition, there may be a mix of "MD Paper Products" and "MD Product" products, but don't worry - it's still the same great Midori paper you know and love!
Made in Japan, this simple notebook was designed to create a writing experience that you will enjoy. The high-quality Midori Diary (MD) paper inside was developed in 1960 and has been continuously improved on ever since. Midori has conducted many tests using a variety of writing instruments to inspect the paper quality, including observing whether the ink feathers or bleeds, how it dries, how well the pen tips glide across the surface, how the paper feels to the touch, and so on. As a result, the paper is bleed-resistant, feather-resistant, and fountain-pen friendly, giving the user a pleasant writing experience. The line ruling on the paper features a bold center line that divides each page into a top and bottom section, helping you organize.
The notebook has a sturdy thread binding that lies flat when open, making it easy to write. It also comes with a ribbon marker to keep your place. The cover is not a typical notebook cover. To feature the charm of the paper itself, the cloth tape used to bind the spine, usually hidden by a cover, is exposed, giving the notebook a unique look. You can even see where the ribbon marker is glued in place. The notebook also comes with sticker labels that can be used to label the notebook.
Notebook covers for protecting your notebook are available separately.
Note: this notebook is the same as the Midori MD Notebook with model number 13804006, except for the paper band design.
This product is a recipient of the 2008 Good Design Award.
