MD PAPER is used not only for the main text but also for the cover and endpapers. It features a pure finish without wrapping. The binding uses a 'Thread Binding' method that is easy to open and durable. The notebook opens 180 degrees flat, allowing for stress-free writing from the first page to the last. The color of bookmark string varies depending on the type of notebook, adding a subtle playfulness to the minimalist design. The MD Notebook is wrapped in glassine paper, reminiscent of old paperback books. It also serves to prevent dirt. You can use it as is, or remove it and leave it in its pristine state. You can use it in any style you like. It comes with index stickers that match the plain cover, which is simply fastened with cheesecloth. The grid features a light blue-gray 5mm grid pattern reminiscent of old Japanese manuscript paper, characterized by a slight gap between the squares. It also includes tick marks every 5/10 squares to easily count characters. The light blue grid lines will not interfere with your writing or sketching. This notebook is recommended for those who want to enjoy the act of writing, whether keeping a diary, recording hobbies, or composing sentences like a professional writer.
