Midori

Midori notebooks have been around for a long time and have an excellent reputation with fountain pen users. Or do they? This A5 notebooks that come in a range of colours and also come in a spiral bound version. The journal does NOT have Midori MD paper, which is the paper I loved in the Traveler’s Notebook review, and unfortunately it isn’t as good. I can’t find direct links to the notebook on Midori’s website, so the coloured paper journals may have been a limited release.

I bought myself a white notebook, but I definitely fell in love first with the paper colours in the pink and purple versions. I am using the white notebook to demonstrate how a beginner’s journal can be set up creatively for bullet journaling.

My in-depth review video looks at the company and their products, the construction, features and markings of the journal, the paper, the company’s approach to environmental and social responsibility, and includes a pen test of a full range of pens (with a special fountain pen test) and watercolour paints. See my pen test page for an explanation of each test.
