Embrace the ultimate minimalist writing experience with the Midori MD Notebook (B6 Slim, Blank). Designed and manufactured in Japan, this notebook is a masterpiece of understated elegance, stripped of all unnecessary embellishments to keep the absolute focus on your thoughts. It features the world-renowned, cream-coloured MD Paper—developed in-house by Midori since the 1960s—which offers an impeccably smooth texture with just a hint of tactile feedback. Formulated to resist feathering and bleed-through, it is universally adored by fountain pen enthusiasts, sketchers, and daily journal writers alike.
The unique B6 Slim size sits comfortably between a standard pocket book and a classic A5 notebook, making it perfectly portable while still providing ample canvas for your imagination. Bound using traditional thread-stitch method (Gakko-toji), this notebook unrolls to lay completely flat at a full 180 degree angle, eliminating the frustrating bump near the spine and ensuring effortless writing from edge to edge. Left completely unjacketed with an exposed cheesecloth mesh spine, the minimalist aesthetic celebrates the raw beauty of bookbinding. Every notebook comes complete with a set of index sticker labels and a signature colourful bookmark string to mark your page.

【ABOUT THE BRAND】
Rooted in Japan under celebrated stationery house Designphil Inc., MD PRODUCT traces its heritage back to the 1960s with the creation of original MD PAPER. Born from an uncompromising dedication to the comfort and tactile pleasure of handwriting, the brand has evolved from a paper pioneer into an advocate for Yohaku (余白)—the art of creating intentional margins in time, thought, and daily life. Guided by the design philosophy of "Refined by Subtraction," every piece strips away unnecessary ornamentation to foster mindful pause, honest self-reflection, and creative calm.
The brand specialises in fountain-pen-friendly MD Paper Notebooks and pads, celebrated for their exposed cheesecloth lay-flat bindings and bleed-resistant, FSC®-certified paper that delivers an exquisite balance of smooth ink absorption and tactile nib feedback. Expanding beyond classic notebooks, MD PRODUCT also crafts structured daily diaries, multi-year record books, minimalist desk interior tools, and tactile protective covers in vegetable-tanned leather and wax paper. Each product honors unadorned materials in their purest form, offering writers and creators around the world an enduring sanctuary to slow down and simply be themselves.
