DESIGNPHIL 15294006 Midori Notebook, MD Notebook, A5, Horizontal Ruled A

If youre a huge stationary need like me, you already know. For everyone else, the Japanese know how to make the best stuff. For a great price, you get a great notebook that is like ASMR to write on. The paper is luxurious, just make sure to splurge on a good Japanese made pen.

Good smooth paper that lets the fountain pen do its thing—write smoothly, not slippery. Pretty, handy, perfect size to just toss it in my bag.

This is a favorite notebook of mine. It’s slightly toothy and great for using a fountain pen. It does not bleed through and no ghosting. Would reorder again.

Saw a link for this to another stationary website and was thrilled to be able to pick it up here from Amazon. I have a couple of these now and the quality and design are sublime. I would recommend either of the covers as well to keep the sturdy paper cover from getting too dinged up or dirty.The quality of the paper is outstanding. I have used a wide variety of pens and inks on the paper - Monte Blanc, Zebra G750 with LK refill, and my Rotring 600 with Schmidt EF9000 in both medium and fine points and the paper is smooth and easy to write on, zero bleed, and the rules version is broken out into sections that you can use for whatever note taking you might have.Simple but elegant. Quality and value. These are things that matter and as I looked for something to capture my daily journaling thoughts, this was the choice that made sense. The A5 is the perfect size and I'll keep buying these as long as they keep making them.

I love this paper. I almost write exclusively with fountain pens, so good paper is a must for me. This paper ticks all my boxes: it's thin, my pens glide over it, and it does not have any bleed through or feathering. I'll be back to get more once I'm through with my current book.

MD paper is absolutely wonderful, great price for quality of paper you get. A couple of things:1. Great with fountain pens2. The paper is pretty sturdy it can stand up to wet pens, but they won't dry super fast3. Although the cover is Kraft paper, it is substantial to use in your lap without a table4. Only real complaint would be that the bookmark comes out pretty easy.

I love this book: it's size, the smoothness of the paper, even it's slight see-throughness. Drawing tools : pens, pencils, felt tips, etc. all glide on the paper effortlessly. I sue it as a daily sketchbook for quick, dry media sketching.

Great paper with a minimalist book design. All things considered, you can buy a high quality book for about 10 bucks. It works well with my fountain pens and displays sheening inks well, which was my first impetus for getting a midori md. The ink shadows a little, but it doesn't bleed through. I pair it with a pencil board (aka shitajiki) so I don't dent the page behind.A con I have is that these books usually have wild price fluctuations and are relisted CONSTANTLY, meaning you have to look to see if its the cheapest option, or if the relisted version is cheaper. Generally, when the price drops, I buy a couple more than I think I'll need, cause the price doesn't stay low forever.
