Midori MD Cotton Notebook – A5, Blank

If you love the feel of pen on paper, this is the notebook that makes you want to draw and write a little more every day. MD Notebook Cotton is made with MD PAPER Cotton, using 20% soft cotton pulp to create a gentle, cushioned touch that welcomes both sketching and expressive writing.

The softly textured surface pairs especially well with medium to broad fountain pen nibs, and the calm, warm white tone helps ink colors look clear and lively. It’s a wonderful choice for quick idea sketches, daily journaling, ink testing, rough drawings, and any page where you want your lines and colors to feel effortless.

Like all MD Notebooks, it’s thoughtfully designed for comfort: no stiff cover to fight against, and a thread-sewn binding that opens fully flat to 180 degrees. It also comes wrapped in a classic glassine cover to protect your notebook, plus a bookmark ribbon and index stickers so you can easily organize your notes, projects, or diary pages.
