MIDORI MD Note Bunko renewal version

Midori MD Notebook “Bunko” Size – Purely for the Joy of Writing

Simple. Thoughtful. Designed for Writing.

The MD Notebook is made for those who love the act of writing. The word “note” comes from “notice” — capturing moments, thoughts, sketches, and ideas. This notebook is designed to gently support your creativity, always ready for whatever you want to express.

Now celebrating its 15th anniversary, the MD Notebook evolves further in simplicity and craftsmanship. The same MD Paper used inside is now also used for the cover and inner pages, offering a cohesive texture and writing experience throughout. The result? A notebook you’ll want to write in more, and more freely.

Why You’ll Love the MD Notebook “Bunko” Size:

• Minimal Design, Maximum Comfort:
  Unlike traditional notebooks, the MD Notebook doesn’t have an extra cover that interferes with how it opens or feels. Instead, the first page is the cover, made of MD Paper itself — giving you a comfortable, unified writing experience from the very first touch.

• Open Flat, Write Freely:
  Bound using thread-stitch binding (also known as yarn binding), the notebook opens flat at 180°. This durable binding is traditionally used in diaries and books meant to last, offering a stress-free writing experience from beginning to end.

• Exposed Spine with Cold Gauze:
  A unique detail — the spine is reinforced with cold gauze, not hidden by a thick cover. It flexes easily, supports the open-flat design, and has become an iconic part of the MD Notebook’s minimalist look.

• Choose Your Layout:
  Available in three formats to match your writing style:

  • Blank (No Ruled): For sketches, ideas, or creative freedom.

  • Lined (7mm): With slightly thicker lines to use top/bottom separately — perfect for diaries, notes, or schedules.

  • Grid (5mm): Inspired by traditional manuscript paper with spacing aids for easy alignment and counting.

• Subtle Design Details:
  Each type features a different spine thread color (e.g., white for Cotton, orange for Diary), adding a touch of personality without disrupting the clean aesthetic.

• Wrapped in Glacine Paper:
  Reminiscent of old paperbacks, the soft glacine paper wrap protects the notebook from dirt while preserving its classic book-like feel. Keep it on, or remove it to enjoy the pure paper cover.

• Perfectly Sized Like a Book:
  The “Bunko” size (H148 × W105mm) is compact and portable — similar to a paperback. When filled, it becomes a personal book of your own. Line it up with your favorite reads on your shelf.
