According to stationery company Midori, two things will happen when you pick up one of their MD Notebooks. First, you’ll be overcome with the desire to actually write in it, and, second, you’ll want to re-read what you wrote.

This is in part due to the simple elegance and faultless design of MD (Midori Diary) Notebooks. Each A5-sized notebook features a durable paraffin cover, high-quality Japanese paper, and a binding that opens to a full 180-degrees. You’ll also be able to tell whether it’s a blank, lined or graph paper notebook by the color of the bookmark. But the best part has to be the minimalist, distraction-free aesthetic, which surrenders each new page to the full force of your untethered imagination.
