MIDORI notebooks combine useful page formats with a more playful approach to writing and journaling. Some are simple notebooks for everyday notes and lists, while collections such as Yuru Log are designed to make it easy to combine writing, stickers, photographs and other pieces of daily life on the page.

Yuru Log is MIDORI’s relaxed approach to journaling and keeping a record of everyday life. The notebooks can be used on their own or combined with Yuru Log stickers and other stationery, so a page can be as simple or as detailed as you want it to be

MIDORI Color Notebooks pair understated cover colors with coordinating colored pages and a 5 mm dot grid. In a slim format The dots provide a light guide for writing and page layouts without dividing the page as strongly as traditional ruled or graph paper. They make great single subject notebooks. Writers enjoy matching or contrasting inks with the page colors.

The paper depends on the notebook. Yuru Log notebooks use MD PAPER, with some Yuru Log formats using thicker MD PAPER for activities such as stamping. Other MIDORI notebook collections use papers selected specifically for their format and design. Check the individual product details for the paper used in each notebook.

It depends on the notebook and its paper. MIDORI’s MD PAPER is designed to resist feathering, smearing and bleed-through and works well with a wide range of writing instruments, including fountain pens. Because MIDORI uses different papers across its notebook collections, we identify the paper and relevant writing characteristics on individual product pages whenever that information is available.

A dot grid gives you guidance without visually dominating the page. You can follow the dots for handwriting and lists, use them to create boxes or layouts, or largely ignore them when drawing, adding stickers or arranging photographs. It is a flexible choice if you use the same notebook in several different ways.
