MD Notebook Journal Codex A5 – 1 Day 1 Page (Dot Grid)

The MD Notebook Journal Codex A5 – 1 Day 1 Page Dot Grid invites you to capture a year of thoughts — one page at a time.

With 368 pages designed for one entry per day, this journal quietly transforms everyday writing into a lasting record of your life. Gradually filled with notes, reflections, sketches and plans, it eventually becomes something rather special: a personal book worth keeping on the shelf alongside your favourite volumes.

At its heart lies Midori’s renowned MD PAPER, developed in-house since the 1960s. Its subtly textured surface offers a satisfying tactile experience, producing a faint, gentle sound as the pen moves across the page. Carefully engineered to resist feathering and bleed-through, it performs beautifully even with fountain pens.

Despite containing an impressive 368 pages, the notebook remains remarkably comfortable to use thanks to its codex binding. This durable bookbinding technique allows the journal to open completely flat from beginning to end, ensuring effortless writing across every page.

Thoughtful details add to the experience. Each page includes space at the bottom for the date and page number, allowing you to organise entries however you prefer. Small perforated corners can be torn away once a page is complete, creating a convenient marker for your current entry.

The 5mm dot grid layout provides subtle guidance without overwhelming the page. The evenly spaced dots help structure writing, diagrams and layouts, while two enlarged dots make it easier to position dates neatly at the top of each page.

A journal designed not merely to hold writing — but to become a story of the year it contains.
