Midori MD B6 Slim Notebook

The Midori MD Notebook B6 Slim is a beautifully pared-back notebook that embodies everything we admire about Japanese stationery: quiet functionality, thoughtful design, and exceptional paper. Sized just slightly narrower than a standard B6, this slim format is ideal for lists, quick notes, or keeping by your side throughout the day.

The MD Notebook is beloved for its cream-coloured paper, developed in-house by Midori to handle fountain pens, pencils, and gel pens with equal grace. It’s bleed-resistant, feather-resistant, and offers just the right amount of tooth for a pleasant writing experience—whether you’re jotting down ideas or sketching out thoughts. With its lay-flat binding, the notebook stays open comfortably on any surface, making it easy to write from edge to edge.

The design is intentionally minimal: no cover, just a waxed paraffin wrap that can be removed or kept on to protect the pages. A thin ribbon marker adds a practical touch, while exposed stitching at the spine speaks to the craftsmanship behind each notebook.

Why we like it:

At Laywine’s, we appreciate tools that don’t get in your way—and the MD B6 Slim does just that. It’s light, portable, and quietly excellent. It has a kind of humility about it, but the moment your pen touches the page, the quality is unmistakable. For journaling, planning, or daily note-taking, it’s a notebook that rewards regular use.
