The MD Notebook is designed for comfortable writing. It opens flat and is designed for functional beauty with no frills. It is made of MD PAPER (MIDORI Diary Paper), which has been developed for comfortable writing with a variety of writing instruments, from fountain pens to pencils. Not only its gridded pages but the cover and flyleaf are also made of MD PAPER for the ultimate comfort during writing. This is a 5 mm grid type inspired by the traditional Japanese manuscript paper, "genko yoshi".
