MIDORI MD notebook new book renewal version

Midori - MD Notebook "Shinsho"

Simply, A Notebook That Was Just Particular About Writing

The word "note" means "notice" as a verb.
People leave awareness of their days through letters, figures, and pictures. That’s why we hope this notebook gently snuggles up to the user like a saucer beneath a teacup.
When you want to write, leave that feeling just as it is—so simply.

15th Anniversary Evolution: A Notebook That Enjoys "Writing"

• Designed purely for the joy of simple writing

• Now made entirely with MD paper—from cover to text

• Offers comfort through texture and unity with every word written

• Lets you feel free to write “more” and “freely”

MD Paper Cover: The Cover Is the First Page

• The notebook cover itself is MD paper, inviting you to write on it

• The tactile connection between pen tip and paper enhances unity and comfort

• Unlike standard notebooks, there’s no outer decorative paper or cover to interrupt the writing flow

• Minimal design maximizes the experience of writing

Superior Binding for Effortless Writing

• Thread binding used: pages folded in 16s and bound with strong thread

• Opens flat at 180°—ideal for stress-free, full-spread writing

• Durable enough for long-term use, like diaries or planners

• The spine features cold gauze—both functional and a subtle design icon

Three Writing Styles Available

1. No Ruled

   • Total freedom to write or sketch

   • Can be used as a blank canvas in two-page spreads

2. Horizontal Ruled (7mm)

   • Lines are thick enough to divide for varied uses

   • Ideal for dividing pages into sections (notes, dates, schedules, etc.)

3. Grid (5mm)

   • Inspired by old manuscript paper

   • Gaps between grids make writing or sketching easy

   • Comes with scales every 5/10 squares to count characters easily

   • Soft blue lines that don’t interfere with your work

Minimal Design with Subtle Playfulness
