The Midori MD Notebook A5 Grid is built with a focus on simplicity and writing quality, keeping the design clean so the paper and writing experience take center stage. Made by Midori in Japan, it features a soft cream cover with an exposed spine, giving it a raw, crafted look instead of a typical finished notebook. Inside, it uses MD paper, which has been refined over decades to work well with different writing tools, especially fountain pens. The 5mm grid is printed in a light blue tone, providing structure for notes, diagrams, or layouts without being distracting. The paper resists feathering and bleed-through, and the slight texture gives a controlled, smooth writing feel. The notebook contains 176 pages and uses thread-stitched binding that allows it to open completely flat, making it easy to write across both pages. It also includes a ribbon marker and label stickers for organization. The A5 size offers a good balance between writing space and portability, making it suitable for daily notes, journaling, or planning.
