While Midori MD Cotton paper was developed with the artist in mind, it’s equally exceptional for writing. Made from 20% soft-textured cotton pulp, this “cult paper” will handle pencil, ink, paint, you-name-it. This notebook is a standard A5 (approximately 21cm x 15cm/8.3” x 5.9”) and I’m overjoyed to see Midori making this size once again.

Notebooks feature a lie-flat binding and each contains 176 pages. Midori Covers are available in Clear PVC, sturdy Japanese paper, and goat leather, and of course they will fit many other A5 notebook systems including those from Roterfaden and Lochby. Made in Japan.
