Midori MD Notebook B6 Slim – Grid

The Midori MD Notebook B6 Slim – Grid is designed with a singular purpose: to make writing feel effortless.

Following Midori’s signature minimalist philosophy, the notebook removes unnecessary decoration so the act of writing remains the focus. Its B6 Slim (Japanese paperback) format, inspired by Japanese paperback books, offers a tall and slender shape that feels elegant in the hand while remaining easy to carry throughout the day.

Inside, you’ll find Midori’s celebrated MD PAPER, used not only for the pages but also for the cover and endpapers. Known for its silky writing surface and excellent fountain pen compatibility, the paper allows ink to glide smoothly while maintaining crisp lines, vibrant colour and pleasing shading.

The notebook uses traditional thread binding, allowing it to open completely flat at 180 degrees. This ensures a seamless writing experience from the first page to the last, without the frustration of pages resisting or curling upward.

The cover remains pure and uncoated, showcasing the natural character of the MD paper. Each notebook is wrapped in glassine paper, reminiscent of classic paperback book covers. It protects the notebook from dirt during use or travel, though many writers choose to remove it and enjoy the notebook in its simplest form.

A bookmark string runs along the spine, with its colour varying depending on the notebook type, adding a subtle hint of personality. Matching index stickers are included so you can label and organise your notebooks neatly.

The 5mm grid layout, reminiscent of manuscript paper, offers structure while remaining unobtrusive. It provides a clear guide for writing, diagrams, planning and sketches, making it ideal for those who enjoy organised pages without visual clutter.
