Midori MD Notebook B6 Slim – Plain

The Midori MD Notebook Shinsho B6 Slim – Plain is designed with a refreshing simplicity. No elaborate cover, no unnecessary decoration — simply a notebook devoted to the quiet pleasure of writing.

In the distinctive B6 Slim (Japanese paperback) format, the notebook takes inspiration from the proportions of Japanese paperback books. Tall, slender and comfortably portable, it sits naturally in the hand and slips easily into bags or pockets for everyday use.

At its heart is Midori’s celebrated MD PAPER, used not only for the pages but also for the cover and endpapers. Known for its smooth surface and fountain pen-friendly qualities, the paper allows ink to glide effortlessly while maintaining crisp lines, vibrant colour and pleasing shading.

The notebook is bound using traditional thread binding, allowing it to open completely flat at 180 degrees. This thoughtful construction ensures comfortable, uninterrupted writing from the first page to the last.

The cover remains pure and uncoated, highlighting the natural character of the MD paper itself. Each notebook arrives wrapped in glassine paper, reminiscent of old paperback books. It helps prevent dirt during use and travel, though many writers choose to remove it and enjoy the notebook in its pristine 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 plain layout offers a completely blank canvas — ideal for free-form writing, sketches, planning, journalling or creative ideas without restriction.
