{"title":"Midori Notebooks, Planners and MD Paper","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMidori and MD Paper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMidori is a stationery brand of Designphil Inc. in Tokyo. In the 1960s the company developed its own diary paper and named it MD Paper, short for Midori Diary. From 2008 MD Paper grew into a full range under the Midori name, led by the MD Notebook, and in January 2026 Designphil gave that range a brand of its own, MD PRODUCT. Both names come from the same maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMD Notebook sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach standard MD Notebook has 176 pages of 80 gsm MD Paper, is thread-sewn so it opens 180 degrees flat, and comes wrapped in glassine.

B6 slim keeps the A6 width but adds 27 mm of height, so it still holds comfortably in one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMidori diaries and accessories\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will also find Midori diaries here, including hibino, a two-pages-per-day diary (115 x 152 mm, 768 pages) printed on Tomoe River S paper rather than MD Paper, along with clear and paper covers for MD Notebooks, the Notebook's HARAMAKI storage pouch, and Midori accessories such as Chiratto index clips, D-Clips and multi rulers.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0244\/5557\/7664\/collections\/Midori_Logo_Japan_-_Blesket_Canada.svg?v=1721856011","url":"https:\/\/blesket.com\/en-de\/collections\/midori-notebooks-planners-and-md-paper.oembed?page=2","provider":"Blesket Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
