Midori MD Paper A5 Lined Notebook

The Midori MD Paper Notebook has a clean and simple design, featuring 176 pages. Crafted using traditional Japanese threaded binding, the notebook opens flat from the first page to the last. The notebook features MD Paper, their original paper that prevents smearing and bleed-through for comfortable writing, especially for fountain pen fanatics.

MD Paper Products are simple, Japan-made products and MidoriÕs pride when it comes to the art of making paper.

Not only the paper itself has been developed carefully, also the method of binding deserves an explanation. The MD Notebooks are bound by means of stitching; a large sheet of paper is folded into a bundle of 16 pages. Then, such bundles are bound with thread. This method enables the notebook to open entirely flat, ensuring ease of writing, without a bumpy middle.
To honor this method of binding, Midori has left the cover uncovered, so its spine exposes the cheesecloth tape, which is used to reinforce the bound paper.

Being a stationery manufacturer from the 1950Õs, MD Paper Products can be described as part of Midori's blueprint. Ever since Midori made MD Paper in the 1960Õs, they have applied the Japanese ÔKaizenÕ principle, meaning they are continuously looking for ways to improve its quality. The result is paper that will not stain nor bleed and is fantastic to write on, especially with a fountain pen.

Since its establishment in 1950, Midori manufactures paper goods that combine both aesthetics and functionality. They do this by paying special attention to beauty and the materials used.
