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.

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
